Accessibility

Mental Health Concern is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability.

We work to current web standards and accessibility guidelines in order to allow our content to be accessible to as great an audience as possible. If you do have any difficulty using our website at all, then please let us know. We will endeavour to rectify any issues raised in future iterations of this site.

All pages on this site comply with the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. All pages on this site validate as HTML5.

This site is built using well-structured, semantic markup. Appropriate tags are used to add semantic value to content, ensuring our pages can be read and interpreted by not only web browsers, but also screen readers and other assistive devices.

Our efforts include, but are not limited to:

• Maintaining a standard, conventional layout and structure throughout the website.
• Using the correct and appropriate HTML (abbr) tags to mark up our pages and content.
• Using CSS (abbr) to control styling and presentation of pages.
• Using JavaScript in an unobtrusive manner, thus separating content from both presentation and behaviour.
• Checking contrast levels between elements, enhancing legibility of content for those who may be visually impaired.
• Employing a logical typographical hierarchy for content, enhancing readability.
• Using table-based mark-up only for tabular data, and never for layout or presentation.
• Using an adaptive page layout system, allowing content to be shown in a way which is appropriate to the viewing device.
• Ensuring link text makes contextual sense, using title and rel (abbr) attributes as appropriate.
• Write content in a style that is understandable and easy to follow.

Should there be an instance when our site does not meet the needs of a specific user group and it is necessary we make changes to our content, structure or markup then we will endeavour to make the necessary changes to ensure that our site is as accessible as possible.
