CEDR Accessibility Policy

We aim for a consistently high level of usability for our different audience types across our website, following best-practice accessibility guidelines.

Our commitment to ensuring accessibility for everyone

CEDR is committed to making sure our website is accessible to as many users as possible. Our website follows all priority two requirements of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1), also known as Level AA compliance.
 

Our guiding principles for accessibility

  • We use live text in appropriately marked up HTML instead of graphics or PDF documents across the site to describe the core service offering of CEDR
  • During the website construction, we ensured robust testing on any colour variations to ensure the contrast between copy and the background are accessible to people with disabilities.
  • All pages are built on a responsive framework i.e. changes dynamically the display according to the device it is being viewed upon e.g. smartphone, tablet, laptop/desktop computer, avoiding the need for any horizontal scrolling.
  • We use a consistent navigation menu and clear signposting across the site
  • We aim to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines - known as the WCAG 2.1 AA Guidelines - set out by W3C where possible
  • Alternative Text or known as 'ALT Tag' compliance - ALT text refers to an invisible description of images that are read aloud to blind users on a screen reader. Adding ALT text allows authors to include images, but still provide the content in an alternative to non-text content, for example, images in web pages. The cedr.com website has Alt Tags correctly applied throughout the site, meeting key accessibility guidelines.

Additional Support

We understand that extra support needs can impact how people absorb and understand information. With this in mind, we have carefully designed our website and content.

We’ve made our website fully responsive to better serve customers who need a more accessible online experience.

To help access our website fully we have our accessibility plug in provided by AccessiBe which provides common accessibility combinations that address the characteristics of a specific disability.  All the user has to do, is choose the right one for them:

  • Seizure Safe Profile – This profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations, as well as certain colour combinations.
  • Vision Impaired Profile – This profile adjusts the website so that it is accessible to the majority of visual impairments such as degrading eyesight, tunnel vision, cataract, glaucoma and others
  • Neuro Diverse Friendly Profile – This profile significantly reduces distractions and noise to help people with ADHD and neurodevelopmental disorders browse, read and focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
  • Cognitive Disability Profile – This profile provides various assistive features to help users with disabilities such as Autism, Dyslexia, CVAA+ and others to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
  • Keyboard Navigation Profile – This profile enables people with motor impairments to operate the website using a limited number of keyboard functions.
  • Blind User Profile (Screen readers) – This profile adjusts the website to be compatible with various screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA, Voiceover and Talkback.
