At Carers UK, we want everyone to be able to use and understand our website.

We are working towards our website meeting WCAG 2.1 level AA website accessibility standards.

 

How we’re making our website more accessible

  • You can zoom in up to 200% without the text spilling off the screen.
  • You can skip to the main webpage content when using a screenreader.
  • You can navigate most of the website using a screenreader.
  • You can navigate most of the website using speech recognition software.
  • You can navigate most of the website using a keyboard.
  • We’ve made the words used on our website as easy as possible to read and understand.
  • We do use some PDFs on this website. Our PDFs are tagged to make them as accessible as possible.
  • We caption all our videos. Our videos do not auto play.
  • We use alternative text to describe meaningful images and photography to screenreaders.
