Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment

The Principality of Kaharagia is committed to ensuring that its digital services are accessible to all users, regardless of ability or the technology they use to access the web.

We believe that access to official information should not be impeded by barriers that can reasonably be removed or mitigated through thoughtful design and development.

This statement applies to the info.kaharagia.org website and associated digital services.

Standards We Aim For

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), provide a widely accepted framework for making web content more accessible.

The Four Principles

WCAG 2.1 is organised around four principles. Content must be:

Perceivable: Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive.

Operable: User interface components and navigation must be operable by all users.

Understandable: Information and the operation of the user interface must be understandable.

Robust: Content must be robust enough to be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.

Accessibility Features

The info.kaharagia.org website incorporates the following accessibility features:

Structure and Navigation

• Semantic HTML markup for clear document structure
• Logical heading hierarchy (H1 through H6)
• Skip-to-content link allowing keyboard users to bypass navigation
• Consistent navigation across all pages
• Descriptive page titles
• Breadcrumb navigation where appropriate

Visual Design

• Sufficient colour contrast between text and background
• Text can be resized up to 200% without loss of content or functionality
• Content is readable without requiring horizontal scrolling at standard viewport widths
• No content relies solely on colour to convey meaning
• Focus indicators are visible for keyboard navigation

Keyboard Accessibility

Known Limitations

Whilst we strive for full accessibility, we acknowledge the following limitations:

PDF Documents

Historical documents provided in PDF format may not be fully accessible. Where possible, we provide HTML alternatives or summaries. We are working to improve the accessibility of PDF documents over time.

Complex Tables

Some policy documents may contain tables that are challenging to navigate with screen readers. We aim to provide alternative text descriptions where tables contain complex information.

Third-Party Content

On occasions where we link to external content, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of those third-party sites.
