Our Commitment to Accessibility

Hampshire Developers Forum is committed to ensuring our website is accessible and usable for as many people as possible.

We want everyone visiting our website to be able to access information, engage with our content and participate in our activities regardless of ability, technology or circumstance.

We are committed to improving accessibility and usability through good design, clear content and ongoing review.

Accessibility Standards

We aim for our website to meet recognised accessibility good practice and work towards compliance with the internationally recognised Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA wherever reasonably possible.

This means we aim to ensure our website can be used by people who:

• Use screen readers or assistive technology
• Navigate using a keyboard rather than a mouse
• Require larger text sizes or zoom functionality
• Use speech recognition software
• Have visual, hearing, cognitive or motor impairments
• Access the website using mobile devices or different browsers

What We Are Doing

We aim to:

• Use clear and simple language wherever possible
• Structure content with logical headings and navigation
• Ensure sufficient colour contrast
• Provide meaningful link text
• Use accessible forms and controls
• Design pages to work across different devices and screen sizes
• Regularly review website accessibility and identify improvements

Known Limitations

While we aim to provide accessible content across our website, there may occasionally be limitations, particularly where:

• Third-party tools or embedded content are used
• Older documents or downloadable files may not fully meet accessibility standards
• External websites linked from our site may have different accessibility arrangements

We are committed to improving accessibility over time and addressing issues where practical.
