GATHA Accessibility Statement

This statement was last updated on 21/09/2024.

At GATHA, we are committed to making our website, accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities. We strive to provide an inclusive experience for all users, ensuring they can navigate and enjoy our content with ease, regardless of their abilities.

What is Web Accessibility?

Web accessibility ensures that people with various disabilities can interact with a website with a level of ease and enjoyment comparable to that of other visitors. This can be facilitated through site features, assistive technologies, and system functionalities.

Accessibility Efforts on This Site

We have implemented the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) [2.0 / 2.1 / 2.2] and aim to meet compliance at the [A / AA / AAA] level. The site is designed to be compatible with assistive technologies such as screen readers and keyboard navigation. Our efforts include the following:

Use of accessibility tools, such as the Accessibility Wizard, to identify and fix potential issues.
Defined language settings for the site.
Structured the content and headings for clear and logical navigation.
Ensured that images have alternative text for screen readers.
Applied colour contrast ratios to meet accessibility standards.
Reduced motion where necessary to avoid triggering sensitivity.
Made sure videos, audio files, and documents are accessible to users.

Partial Compliance Due to Third-Party Content

Certain areas of the site rely on third-party services, and accessibility in these areas may not be fully under our control. We declare partial compliance with WCAG for these sections due to the limitations posed by third-party content.

Physical Accessibility Arrangements

We strive to provide an accessible environment from entry to service areas. Should you need additional accommodations, please reach out to our team in advance.

If you encounter an accessibility issue or require further assistance, please contact our team and ask for an Accessibility Coordinator

We welcome feedback and suggestions to continue improving accessibility for all.
