Accessibility Statement

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, all users have equal access to information and functionality.

What is Web Accessibility?

We have integrated accessibility features in accordance with WCAG 2.1 guidelines to ensure that our website is accessible to individuals with disabilities. Some of the key features include alternative text for images, clear heading structures, and color contrast considerations. We have also minimized the use of motion to support users with sensitivities.
