Accessibility Compliance

This accessibility statement applies to www.youthmusic.org.uk. We’re committed to making our site as user-friendly and accessible as possible for everyone. We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA standard as a benchmark for our work, and we’re constantly working to improve.

This site has been designed to adhere to best practice by following W3C standards. We aim to be ‘AA compliant’ according to WCAG guidelines and comply to AAA standards where possible. We are committed to providing an accessible experience for all users and have implemented the following accessibility features. 

  • Customisable Display: You can adjust colours, contrast, and fonts using your browser or device settings. (Please note: This feature may not be available on every page.)
  • Zoom Support: Our site is designed to work well when you zoom in up to 400%. (There might be a few exceptions on some pages.)
  • Keyboard and Speech Navigation: You should be able to navigate most of our website using a keyboard or speech recognition software.
  • Screen Reader Compatibility: We’ve worked to ensure that most of our content is compatible with popular screen readers. (Some areas might have limited functionality.)
  • Plain Language: We aim to present information in a clear and straightforward manner to make it easier for everyone to understand.

Areas for Improvement

While we’ve made significant progress, we recognise that accessibility is an ongoing journey. We are continually reviewing our website and actively seeking ways to enhance its accessibility. Your feedback plays an important role in this process, so please do let us know if you encounter any issues or have suggestions for further improvement.

Third Party Content 

While we strive to maintain high accessibility standards for our website, there may be instances where third-party content or links to external websites do not meet the same accessibility standards. We are working to encourage accessible third-party content and will address any accessibility concerns that may arise.
