Accessibility Statement

We are committed to making the Allocation Round website as accessible as we can. Please contact us to tell us if we could do things better. 
 
Accessibility of this website

We strive to make this website and its content as accessible as possible. We use the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and we are working hard to achieve a goal of WCAG 2.1 AA accessible as our target for this website.

What we do to make this website accessible:

  • Use appropriate alt tags on images
  • Ensure colour contrast is sufficient
  • Caption or provide transcripts for videos and audio clips
  • Provide alternative accessible versions of interactive content that relies on javascript or flash
  • Test the validity of XHTML and CSS as we create new pages and styles
  • Ensure that the text on pages can be enlarged using browser controls

If you spot something that is unhelpful to you and is likely to cause problems for other visitors, please let us know via our Contact Us page.
 
Website content

Many of our older PDFs and Word documents do not meet accessibility standards. For example, they may not be structured in a way that makes them accessible to a screen reader. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion.
 
Works in progress

Our website is currently under development with a number of new templates being created. As part of this work we are working hard to fix any issues to make all elements of our site accessible. 

Accessibility of our publications

We provide large print versions of our publications, available on request.
We ensure that emails we send out are available as HTML or plain text emails.
