Technical information about this website’s accessibility
The GREAT Campaign is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.
Non accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons:
Some of our hyperlinks are missing a meaningful description, so users with a screen reader might have challenges in understanding the meaning of content. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.4.4 Link Purpose
We plan to add descriptive text by May 2020. When we publish new content we will make sure all hyperlinks will have meaningful descriptions.

We plan to add captions by May 2020. When we publish new content we will make sure they
Disproportionate burden
We believe that none of the accessibility requirements present a disproportionate burden for our organization and because of it, we are working on resolving all of the non-compliances by June 2020.
Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
Live video
Live video streams do not have captions. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.2.4 (captions - live).
We do not plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.
