Our Commitment

YR SPACE is committed to making our website accessible and usable for everyone, including people with disability, older people, and those using assistive technologies or alternative devices. We aim to provide information that is inclusive, clear and easy to navigate, reflecting our organisational values of being safe, respectful and responsible.

​

Measures to Support Website Accessibility

• To ensure our website remains accessible, we:

• Build and maintain the site in line with recognised accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 and working towards 2.2 Level AA).

• Embed accessibility requirements into our website policies, design processes and procurement.

• Provide ongoing accessibility training to staff involved in content creation and web management.

• Use plain language, clear headings and consistent structure.

• Provide text alternatives for meaningful images and non‑text content.

• Ensure sufficient colour contrast and readable font sizes.

• Support keyboard navigation and visible focus states.

• Avoid relying on colour alone to convey meaning.

• Provide descriptive link text and meaningful page titles.

• Conduct regular checks, self‑evaluations and updates to address any accessibility issues promptly.

• Test with screen readers and automated accessibility tools during updates.

​

Conformance Status

The YR SPACE website is partially conformant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA (working towards WCAG 2.2 Level AA). This means most of the site meets accessibility standards, but some content may not yet fully conform. We are actively working to improve these areas.

​

Known Limitations

• We are aware that some parts of the website may not fully meet WCAG standards at all times. For example:

• Some legacy PDF documents may not be fully tagged for accessibility.

• Third‑party content (e.g., embedded maps, booking widgets, or social media posts) may not meet the same standards.

• Older blog posts and image galleries may lack complete alternative text.

We are actively addressing these issues as part of our content review and remediation plan. If you encounter a problem that prevents access to information, please let us know (see Feedback & Contact below).

​

Technical Specifications

Our website relies on the following technologies to support accessibility and compatibility with assistive technologies:

• HTML5

• CSS3

This website is designed to be compatible with current versions of major browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari) and mobile and tablet devices using current iOS and Android. For the best experience, we recommend using the latest version of your browser and enabling JavaScript and style sheets.

​

Assessment Approach

We currently assess the accessibility of our website through self‑evaluation, periodic review using accessibility tools and user feedback.

​

Alternative Formats

If you need content in an alternative format (e.g., large print, tagged PDF, Word document, plain text, audio), we will provide it where reasonable and practicable.

Third‑Party Services

Our website may link to or embed content from third‑party services (e.g., Google Maps, websites, etc.), we cannot control the accessibility of these platforms but we advocate for accessible options and provide alternatives where possible.

​

Continuous Improvement

Accessibility is an ongoing process. We schedule periodic reviews, monitor new content prior to publication, and provide guidance to staff and contributors on accessible authoring.

• Governance: Accessibility is overseen by the Program Manager (digital content) and site administrators.

• Review cycle: At least annually, or when significant changes are made to the site, templates or functionality.

• Testing approach: Combination of manual checks (keyboard, screen reader), automated tools, and user feedback.

• Original Statement: This statement was initially created on 14 May 2021 using the W3C Accessibility Statement Generator Tool and is reviewed regularly to ensure it reflects the current accessibility status of our website.

​

Compliance Status

Based on self‑assessment against WCAG 2.1/2.2 Level AA, this website is partially compliant due to the non‑compliances listed under Known Limitations.
