Conformance status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. The MCA website is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA which maps to EN 301 549 as per the European Web Accessibility Directive. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not yet fully conform to the accessibility standard.

Compatibility with browsers and assistive technology

The MCA website is designed to be compatible with the following web browsers:

Internet Explorer 11
Firefox Version 80 or later
Chrome Version 82 or later

Technical specifications and accessibility measures used

Accessibility of the MCA website relies on HTML technologies to work with the particular combination of web browser and any assistive technologies or plugins installed on your computer.

This technology is relied upon for conformance with the accessibility standards used.

The MCA website implements the following accessibility features:

Maintain a consistent HTML Heading hierarchy and information layout across different web pages.
Disseminate email notifications about new website content.
Add image title, alt tag and caption wherever this information is relevant and useful.
Maximise colour contrast for text where applicable.
Actual link text is descriptive enough to inform user where the link points to.
Implement all external links so that they open into new browser tabs.
Implement captioning in as much multimedia content as possible.
