Accessibility Statement

Introduction

Construction for Women CIC (“CFW”) is committed to making its website, www.constructionforwomen.co.uk, accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

This statement applies to the CFW website, including all pages, downloadable resources, forms, and media content.

Purpose of this statement

This Accessibility Statement explains our commitment, the accessibility standards we follow, adjustments we have implemented, known limitations, and how users can request assistance or alternative formats.

What web accessibility is

An accessible website allows visitors with disabilities to use and navigate the site with the same ease as other visitors. Accessibility can be achieved through assistive technologies, system settings, and careful design of content.

Accessibility Standards

We aim to make our website:

• Easy to see and read, with clear text and good colour contrast.

• Easy to use, including navigation with a keyboard or assistive tools.

• Understandable, with clear headings, labels, and instructions.

• Compatible with technologies that help people access the web, such as screen readers.

This approach helps us meet the requirements of the Equality Act 2010 in the UK.

Accessibility adjustments on this site

To make our website easier to use for everyone, we have:

• Organised headings, menus, and content in a clear and consistent structure.

• Added alternative text descriptions for images.

• Used colour combinations that are easy to read.

• Reduced unnecessary motion or flashing elements.

• Made sure videos, audio, and documents are accessible where possible.

• Tested the website with tools and assistive technologies to check accessibility.

Third-Party Content

Some third-party content, tools, or embedded media may not yet meet the accessibility requirements.

Where possible, we provide alternative formats or guidance on accessing these resources.

Non-accessible content may include:

• Certain embedded videos or external forms

Third-party widgets and social media feeds

Accessibility arrangements

Accessibility is a continuous effort. We regularly review the website and make updates to improve usability for all visitors.
