Accessibility Statement

Web accessibility ensures that people with disabilities can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the web. It encompasses all disabilities that affect access to the web, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, and neurological disabilities.

What web accessibility is

At WAEA, we have implemented various accessibility measures to make our website more inclusive. These include adhering to WCAG 2.1 guidelines at the AA level, providing alternative text for images, ensuring color contrast compliance, and optimizing the site for assistive technologies.

Accessibility adjustments on this site

Our commitment to accessibility extends beyond our digital presence. We have also implemented accessibility arrangements in our physical offices and event venues to accommodate individuals with disabilities. These arrangements include accessible parking, wheelchair access, and the availability of accessibility accessories.
