Accessibility Statement for Newcoast

We want everyone who visits the Newcoast website to feel welcome and find the experience rewarding.

What are we doing? 

To help us make the Newcoast website a positive place for everyone, we've been using the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, and user friendly for everyone. 

The guidelines have three levels of accessibility (A, AA and AAA). We’ve chosen Level A as the target for the Newcoast website. 

How are we doing? 


We're working hard to achieve our goal of Level A accessibility, but we realize there are some areas that still need improving. The following information explains what we're doing to make that happen. 

1.1 Text Alternatives

We are working to provide text alternatives for all non-text content. 

1.2 Time-Based Media 

We are working to add captions with all videos and image galleries. 

1.3 Adaptable 

We are working to better allow screen readers to use the site. We will use ARIA tags to define reading sequences and hierarchy. 

2.1 Keyboard Accessible 

We are working to make all functionality available from a keyboard, especially header navigation, form fields and footer navigation. 

2.2 Enough Time 

We are working to provide users enough time to read and use content by adding a pause button for all auto-playing video and for auto-rotating carousels. 

2.3 Seizures 

We are working to make sure all content is not designed in a way that is known to cause seizures by adding a pause button for all auto-playing video and for auto-rotating carousels. 

3.1 Readable 

We are working to make text content readable and understandable by making sure the language of the page is programmatically determined. 

3.2 Input Assistance 
We are working to help users avoid and correct mistakes by labeling form fields, making sure form validation error messages clearly explain the problem and how to fix it, identifying required fields (visually and for a screen reader) and showing confirmation messages after a form is submitted.
