We aim to respond within 5 business days. If you need a page, resource, form or event information in a different format, email us at info@barrierfreefinance.org and we will provide it in an alternative format where available.
Our accessibility goal
We strive to conform with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA, and to enable accessibility in practice for users with a broad range of needs.
Accessibility throughout the Community of Practice
Accessibility was included at every stage of building the Community of Practice section of our website. The designs and build were reviewed for accessibility, and the completed pages were audited before launch, using diagnostic tools (WAVE) and automated code checkers, and reviews by persons with disabilities, including checks using screen readers and voice control.
We also removed the accessibility overlay from our website. Overlays can interfere with the assistive technology and settings people already use, so we focus on making the pages themselves accessible.
We work with Easy Surf, a disability-led accessibility consultancy, on accessibility audits and testing with people with disabilities.
Content from other organisations
Many items in our resource library link to reports, videos and websites published by other organisations, and some events are hosted or registered on external platforms. We cannot always control the accessibility of this content. If you have trouble accessing a resource or event, contact us and we will try to find an accessible version or another way to get you the information.
Known limitations
The Community of Practice is built on the Wix website platform. Some parts of how pages are laid out and coded are controlled by Wix, which means a few issues are outside our control:
Reflow: on desktop, Wix uses fixed-width page layouts. If you zoom in to 400% or use a narrow browser window, some content may not rearrange into a single column, so you may need to scroll sideways or some content may overlap. The mobile version of the site, on a phone or tablet, may be easier to use.
If any of these limitations stop you from getting the information you need, email us at info@barrierfreefinance.org and we will provide the content in an alternative format where available.
Ongoing monitoring and testing
We review new resources, events, blog posts and newsletters for accessibility when they are added. We monitor the Community of Practice pages for potential accessibility issues and regularly review the results. We also conduct manual accessibility audits and testing with people with disabilities.
