What We Are Doing

We want everyone who visits the ASHMI.ORG website to feel welcome and find the experience rewarding. To help us make the ASHMI.ORG website a positive place for everyone, we've been using the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0. 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 AA as the target for the ASHMI.ORG website.

How Are We Doing?

We've worked hard on the ASHMI.ORG website and believe we've achieved our goal of Level AA accessibility. We monitor the website regularly to maintain this, but if you do find any problems, please get in touch.
