Accessibility Statement
The Young Strings Foundation is committed to making our website accessible and welcoming to everyone, regardless of ability, technology or circumstance.
We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website easily. This includes people with disabilities, those using assistive technologies, and visitors who may need to adapt the way in which they access online information.
Our Approach
In developing and maintaining this website, we aim to follow recognised good practice and, where reasonably practicable, the principles of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
We aim to provide:
-
clear, straightforward language and logical navigation;
-
readable text and appropriate colour contrast;
-
alternative text for meaningful images;
-
consistent page structures and headings;
-
functionality that can be accessed using a range of devices and technologies; and
-
content that remains understandable when users adjust text size or display settings.
Our website will continue to develop, and we recognise that some areas may not yet meet every accessibility standard. We will review accessibility as new content and functionality are introduced and make improvements where reasonably practicable.
Equality and inclusion
The Young Strings Foundation is committed to equality of opportunity and to removing unnecessary barriers to participation.
We seek to meet our responsibilities under the Equality Act 2010, including making reasonable adjustments where appropriate for disabled people accessing our services or information.
If a disability or accessibility requirement affects your ability to use our website, apply to YSF, or communicate with us, please contact us so that we can discuss an appropriate alternative or reasonable adjustment.
Alternative formats
If you need information from this website in a different format, or require assistance completing an application or contacting the Foundation, please let us know. We will make reasonable efforts to provide the information or assistance you require.
