This accessibility statement applies to content published on the IHREC website. IHREC intends for its site to be used by as many users as possible (including assistive technology users) and we are working towards an accessible design that ensures this outcome, in accordance with European Union (Accessibility of Websites and Mobile Applications of Public Sector Bodies) Regulations 2020.
We have engaged with our external accessibility partner InterAccess who have carried out a full independent accessibility audit of the IHREC website, as well as receiving training on how to improve our downloadable documents that are available via the website.
This is to assess our conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG) AA standard. We have reviewed and implemented the findings of the last audit from 2022. We have a roadmap in place to ensure compliance and achieve a high standard of accessibility.
The IHREC website is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 AA standard. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard. The High priority accessibility issues can be seen in the list below, along with a brief explanation of their user impact and the relevant WCAG success criteria (SC):
