Accessibility Statement
Accessibility is a priority for Art4Awareness. We are also not expert web designers so a lot of the more in-depth aspect of website accessibility are new to us. We're doing our best to make sure basic things like image descriptions are up to scratch. For the more technical things, we've installed an accessibility app (AccessPro) on this site and enabled every possible feature to improve access in addition to using their scanner to look for any shortcomings in access.
If you spot anything that doesn't work for you or have any advice on the subject, please reach out to roxanne@art4awareness.com for assistance. We're not looking to just post an accessibility statement. We want a site that everyone can use with ease.
