Accessibility Statement

At Galloways, we are committed to making our website accessible to everyone, regardless of ability and we remain dedicated to ensuring our website meets the highest accessibility standards.

Our Accessibility Commitment 

We strive to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at the AA level. These guidelines help us make our website accessible to people with various disabilities, including those who are blind, have visual impairments, or have motor and cognitive disabilities.

Key Features 

To enhance accessibility, we use a third-party application called AccessiBe. This tool helps us ensure our website remains accessible by continuously monitoring and adapting its features. Here are some of the key features:

  • Screen Reader Support: Our website is compatible with popular screen readers like JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack.
  • Keyboard Navigation: You can navigate our website using just your keyboard.
  • Customisable Interface: Adjust text size, colours, and contrast to suit your needs.
  • Accessibility Profiles: We offer special settings for different needs, such as epilepsy-safe, adjust the website so that it is accessible to the majority of visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others plus cognitive disabilities, and ADHD-friendly profiles.

Third-Party Links 

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, such as those for our corporate club members. Please note that we have no control over the accessibility features of these external sites. We encourage you to review their accessibility statements and practices.

Limitations 

We are working hard to improve on any issues and our accessibility compliance is reviewed regularly. While we strive to make all content fully accessible, some limitations exist:

  • Photo Magnification: Most of our website content can be magnified up to 300% without issues. However, some images may only support magnification up to 200% without loss of clarity. We are continually working to improve this.

Ongoing Improvements 

We are constantly working to improve our website’s accessibility with the support of AccessiBe. If you have any issues or suggestions, please get in touch with us at enquiries@galloways.org.uk

Browser and Technology Compatibility 

We aim to support as many browsers and assistive technologies as possible, including Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge, along with JAWS and NVDA screen readers.
