Accessibility

1. Our Accessibility Approach

We aim to follow recognised web accessibility practices when designing, developing and updating Goshenshelters.org.

Our approach includes consideration of accessibility in areas such as:

• Clear and consistent navigation
• Readable text and appropriate presentation of content
• Sufficient colour contrast where reasonably practicable
• Descriptive headings and links
• Accessible forms and clear instructions
• Alternative text for meaningful images where appropriate
• Keyboard-friendly navigation and interaction where reasonably practicable; and
• Responsive design so that content can be accessed across different screen sizes and devices.

2. Ongoing Improvement

Accessibility is an ongoing process. As we update the website, add new content or introduce new features, we will seek to identify and address accessibility barriers where reasonably practicable.

We do not currently claim that every part of the website meets every accessibility standard or that the website is fully compliant with a particular accessibility certification or standard. We will continue to work towards improving accessibility.

3. Third-Party Services

Some features of the Goshen Shelters website may be provided through third-party services, including payment services such as Paystack, WhatsApp and other external platforms.

These services operate independently and may have their own accessibility features, limitations and policies. Goshen Shelters cannot guarantee the accessibility of third-party websites or services that are outside our direct control.

4. Accessibility Feedback

We welcome feedback from visitors who experience difficulty accessing or using any part of Goshenshelters.org.

If you encounter an accessibility barrier, please let us know. Where possible, please tell us:

• The page or feature you were trying to use
• What difficulty you experienced; and
• The device, browser or assistive technology you were using, if relevant

Your feedback will help us identify areas where improvements may be needed.
