Accessibility Statement

Gohigher is inteneded for everyone regardless of ability, age, language or background.

We’ve launched this website very recently, and we are continuing to  carry out testing and update content.  The principles we’re working to are detailed below. 

Our Aims

New media technologies are always changing, but we are committed to the following broad principles:

  • Designing for use with assistive technologies: ensuring that our media work well with technologies such as software that reads pages aloud.
  • Following standards including the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative and the Disability Discrimination Act .
  • Testing: we will be working with real users to ensure that any problems are identified and solutions developed. We’ve just launched this site, so testing is still underway.
  • Innovating: where rich media is offered we will be do our best to provide this in an accessible way and to keep abreast of development of technologies and standards for accessibility.
Guidelines

The accessibility guidelines we follow include:

  • Using an easy to read font type.
  • Ensuring suitable foreground and background colour contrast. 
  • Using clear and simple grammar. 
  • Providing meaningful text equivalents for pictures.
  • Providing simple, consistent site navigation.
  • Ensuring the target of each link is clearly defined.
  • Using appropriate structural mark-up to maximise browser support.
