Accessibility Statement
Our commitment to making this website accessible to everyone.
Our Commitment
MYRO — My Responsible Officer Organisation is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to all users, regardless of ability or the technology they use to access the web. We aim to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA, and we continually work to improve the accessibility and usability of our site.
Accessibility Features
We have implemented the following accessibility features across our website:
- Skip to content link: A hidden link at the top of every page allows keyboard users to skip directly to the main content, bypassing the navigation.
- Semantic HTML: We use proper HTML elements (headings, lists, landmarks, and labels) to convey the structure and meaning of content to assistive technologies.
- ARIA landmarks: Key areas of each page are identified with ARIA landmarks and labels to help screen reader users navigate efficiently.
- Keyboard navigation: All interactive elements, including links, buttons, and form controls, are accessible and operable using a keyboard alone.
- Responsive design: The website adapts to different screen sizes and devices, ensuring content is readable and functional on mobile phones, tablets, and desktop computers.
- High contrast text: Text colours have been chosen to meet WCAG contrast ratio requirements, ensuring readability for users with low vision or colour deficiencies.
- Reduced motion support: Animations and transitions respect the user's operating system preference for reduced motion, minimising potential discomfort for users with vestibular disorders.
- Form labels and error messages: All form fields have associated labels, and validation errors are clearly communicated to assist users in completing forms accurately.
