The Clapham Park Project website references the following Accessibility Guidelines as defined WAI (web accessibility initiative) WCAG (web content accessibility guidelines) and documentation.

The website platform is capable of delivering accessible websites that comply with WCAG 1.0 Priority 2 and Section 508.

Primary adherence and priority has been assigned to the four key tenets for accessibility:

1 Perceivable Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive
This means that users must be able to perceive the information being presented
(it can't be invisible to all of their senses)
2 Operable User interface components and navigation must be operable
This means that users must be able to operate the interface
(the interface cannot require interaction that a user cannot perform)
3 Understandable Information and the operation of user interface must be understandable
This means that users must be able to understand the information as well as the operation of the user interface
(the content or operation cannot be beyond their understanding)
4 Robust Content must be robust enough that it can be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies
This means that users must be able to access the content as technologies advance
(as technologies and user agents evolve, the content should remain accessible)

Wherever possible, we strive to achieve these accessibility guidelines.

If you're a user with accessibility requirements, please use the Text Size "device" in the top right hand corner of every page in the website. This "device" allows you to increase (or decrease) text size of the website pages to suit you.

The website use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).

As a minimum, descriptive text is provided for non textural elements such as podcasts and video content. Wherever possible, the content managers will provide text accompanying podcasts.

Events are surfaced to website users in both standardised web pages utilising CSS wherever possible, RSS subscription feeds and also standardised .ICS format calendar files.
