Last updated: 12 May 2026

The Common Heritage Foundation is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to all users, including people with disabilities. We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA.

Our Commitment

We have taken the following steps to make this website accessible:

  • Semantic HTML5 markup throughout all pages.
  • Keyboard-navigable menus, modals, lightboxes, and interactive components.
  • ARIA landmarks, roles, and labels on all interactive elements.
  • Sufficient colour contrast ratios meeting WCAG 2.1 AA standards.
  • Focus indicators visible on all interactive elements.
  • Skip-to-content link on every page.
  • Responsive design that works across screen sizes and zoom levels up to 200%.
  • Support for reduced-motion preferences via the prefers-reduced-motion media query.
  • Alt text on all informational images.
  • Accessible forms with proper labels, error messages, and instructions.

Known Limitations

While we strive for full accessibility, some content may have limitations:

  • Some older PDF publications may not be fully screen-reader accessible. We are working to remediate these documents.
