ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT
This statement was last updated in April 2025.
We at The Midwives House are dedicated to making our site accessible to people with disabilities.
What web accessibility is
Web accessibility refers to the inclusive practice of removing barriers that prevent interaction with, or access to websites, by people with disabilities. When sites are correctly designed, developed, and edited, generally all users have equal access to information and functionality.
Accessibility adjustments on this site
We have taken steps to ensure our website complies with WCAG 2.1 AA standards, which are set by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Our website is designed and maintained to be usable for all, including those with disabilities. We have made efforts to ensure our site is compatible with assistive technologies, such as screen readers and keyboard navigation.
- Our efforts include using clear headings, providing alternative text for images, implementing color contrasts, and minimizing the use of motion. We have also ensured that all videos, audio, and files on the site are accessible.
Declaration of partial compliance with the standard due to third-party content [only add if relevant]
The accessibility of certain pages on the site depends on contents that do not belong to The Midwives House. We declare partial compliance with the standard for these pages.
Accessibility arrangements in the organization
At The Midwives House, we are committed to providing accessibility arrangements in our physical offices to ensure that everyone can access our services. We have implemented various accessibility arrangements in our physical locations to cater to the needs of all individuals.
