What We Addressed Across the Website

As part of this accessibility initiative, we carried out a structured review and implemented improvements across key areas of the website:

Accessibility auditing using automated and manual testing
Form accessibility and input usability
Colour contrast and visual clarity
Keyboard navigation and focus management
Semantic HTML and ARIA implementation
Image accessibility and alternative text

Outcomes

These improvements contribute to a more inclusive and accessible digital experience, supporting users of all abilities.

Improved readability and visual clarity
Enhanced usability for keyboard and screen reader users
More consistent and accessible form interactions
Better structured and semantically correct content

WCAG Alignment

The Rainbows Ireland website has been reviewed against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA.

While we aim to ensure a high level of accessibility, accessibility is an ongoing process. We continue to monitor, review, and improve the website over time.

Ongoing Accessibility Commitment

Accessibility is not a one-time task — it requires continuous attention and improvement.

Our ongoing approach includes:

Regular accessibility reviews
Incorporating accessibility into new features and content
Monitoring user feedback
Keeping up to date with evolving accessibility standards

Supporting Inclusive Access

Rainbows Ireland provides essential support services, and ensuring that these services are accessible online is a key part of their mission.

By improving accessibility, we help ensure that all users can access information, resources, and support without unnecessary barriers.
