St Thomas Recruitment is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to all users, including individuals with disabilities. We strive to provide a seamless and inclusive digital experience for all visitors, regardless of their abilities.
Our Commitment to Accessibility
We are actively working towards compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA, which set out best practices for making web content more accessible to people with disabilities, including those with vision impairments, hearing impairments, cognitive disabilities, and motor limitations.
Measures Taken to Improve Accessibility
To enhance accessibility, we have implemented the following features:
- Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements can be accessed and used via keyboard shortcuts without the need for a mouse.
- Screen Reader Compatibility: We have structured our content with proper HTML tags and ARIA labels to ensure compatibility with screen readers.
- Contrast and Readability: Text and background color combinations have been optimized to meet WCAG contrast ratio guidelines for improved visibility.
- Alt Text for Images: All images include descriptive alternative text to aid users who rely on screen readers.
- Resizable Text: Users can increase or decrease text size using browser settings without breaking the page layout.
- Accessible Forms: All forms include clear labels, error messages, and focus indicators for easy navigation.
- Video & Audio Accessibility: Where applicable, captions and transcripts are provided for multimedia content.
Ongoing Accessibility Efforts
We continuously monitor our website’s accessibility and seek improvements. Regular audits and user feedback help us identify areas for enhancement. Our team is trained in accessibility best practices, and we aim to incorporate accessibility considerations in all future website updates.
Third-Party Content
While we strive to ensure accessibility across all areas of our website, some third-party applications or content may not yet meet full WCAG compliance. We encourage users to contact us if they experience any difficulties.
