Accessibility

Introduction

Slingshot recognises and values the provision of information on this website in a format which is accessible to all users, regardless of ability or disability.

We have created this website with the goal of meeting the requirements of the level 1 and 2 criteria of the World Wide Web Consortium Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) 2.0 guidelines.

Overview

Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can use the web. More specifically, web accessibility means that people with disabilities can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the web, and that they can contribute to the web. Whatever browser or device, whether a desktop computer, smartphone or
tablet, the experience has been designed to be as consistent as possible.

Accessible websites prioritise clear content, structure and ease of navigation.
