At Common Ground Foundation, we are dedicated to ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. We believe that every visitor should be able to access and enjoy our online content, and we are committed to providing a user-friendly and welcoming digital experience.

Commitment to Accessibility

Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the web, and that they can contribute to the web. Common Ground Foundation is dedicated to making our website accessible to ensure it meets the needs of all individuals, including those with disabilities.

Our Approach to Web Accessibility

To achieve this goal, we have implemented a range of accessibility features in line with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) [2.1 / 2.2]. These guidelines help ensure that our website is accessible to people with a wide range of abilities. Our efforts include:

Accessible Color Palettes and Contrast Ratios: We have carefully selected colour schemes to enhance readability for all users.
Alternative Text for Images: All images on our site include descriptive text to support screen reader interpretation.
Keyboard Navigation and Screen Reader Compatibility: Our website is designed to be fully navigable using a keyboard and is compatible with popular screen readers.
Minimization of Triggering Content: We have reduced the use of content that could potentially cause seizures or physical reactions.
Accessible Multimedia Content: Videos and other multimedia are provided with captions and transcripts to ensure accessibility.

We understand that web accessibility is an ongoing process. As such, we continuously review and improve our website to enhance accessibility. We value feedback from our users and are committed to addressing any barriers that may arise.

Third-Party Content

While we strive to ensure accessibility across all pages, some content on our site may rely on third-party providers. In these cases, accessibility may depend on the standards upheld by these external parties. We are committed to working with third-party providers to encourage accessibility and provide the best possible experience for all users.
