Accessibility Statement

1. Our commitment

NCDF aims to make its websites, forms and public documents usable by people with different abilities, devices and access needs. We work to provide clear structure, keyboard access, readable text, meaningful labels, sufficient contrast and accessible alternatives for important content.

2. Measures we take

  • Use logical headings, landmarks and descriptive page titles;
  • Provide programmatic labels, instructions and error messages for forms;
  • Support keyboard navigation and visible focus;
  • Avoid relying on colour, hover or images alone to communicate meaning;
  • Provide alternative text for meaningful images and accessible downloadable documents;
  • Test common mobile, desktop and assistive-technology scenarios;
  • Include accessibility in content, design, development and release checks.

3. Known limitations

Despite our efforts, some third-party content, historical document or specialist feature may not fully meet the intended standard. Known material limitations should be listed here with a planned remediation date rather than omitted.

4. Request assistance or report a barrier

Contact [ACCESSIBILITY CONTACT] and tell us the page or document, the barrier encountered, the format or assistance needed and a safe way to respond. We will aim to provide a reasonable alternative and use the report to improve the service.

5. Review and testing

This statement should identify the accessibility standard adopted, the latest test date, the testing method and the next review. Legal and Technology should confirm whether any jurisdiction-specific accessibility requirement applies.
