Accessibility Statement

At OCHEAC, we are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all people, including those with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards to our website.

1. Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. OCHEAC strives to conform with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards.

2. Accessibility Features

We have integrated several accessibility best practices into our site architecture:

• Skip Links: Keyboard users can bypass navigation menus and go straight to the main page content using a skip link.
• Semantic Markup: Proper HTML5 landmark structures (header, nav, main, footer) are used for screen readers.
• High Contrast: Colors are selected to ensure standard contrast ratios for easy reading.
• Alt Text: All non-decorative images are provided with descriptive alternative text.
• Keyboard Navigation: All active fields, dropdown lists, buttons, and links are accessible using standard keyboard controls.
• Responsive Scaling: Layouts are designed to scale cleanly when zoomed to accommodate visually impaired users.
