Our Commitment to Accessibility
Health News Daily is committed to making our website accessible to all visitors, including people with disabilities. We believe that everyone should be able to access health news and information easily, regardless of ability or the technology they use.
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA, which is the standard recommended by the UK Government Digital Service and widely regarded as best practice for web accessibility.
What We Do to Improve Accessibility
We have taken the following steps to ensure our Website is as accessible as possible:
Clear and readable content: We write in plain English, avoid unnecessary jargon and structure our articles with headings, subheadings and short paragraphs to make them easy to scan and read.
Text alternatives: We provide descriptive alt text for all meaningful images so that screen reader users can understand visual content.
Keyboard navigation: Our Website is designed to be navigable using a keyboard alone, without requiring a mouse.
Colour and contrast: We aim to use colour combinations that meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA contrast ratios, ensuring text is readable for people with low vision or colour vision deficiencies.
Responsive design: The Website adapts to different screen sizes and devices, including mobile phones, tablets and desktop computers.
Consistent navigation: We use a consistent layout and navigation structure across all pages to help visitors find information easily.
Link descriptions: We aim to make link text descriptive so that it makes sense out of context, which is especially important for screen reader users.
Known Limitations
While we strive for full accessibility, there may be some areas of the Website that are not yet fully accessible. These may include:
— Some older articles may contain images without optimal alt text. We are working to review and update these.
— Some embedded third-party content (such as social media posts or external widgets) may not fully meet accessibility standards, as we do not control those platforms.
— Newly published content may briefly lack full accessibility features as our editorial team reviews and optimises it.
We are continually working to identify and address accessibility issues across the Website.
Assistive Technologies
Our Website is designed to be compatible with common assistive technologies, including:
— Screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver.
— Screen magnification software.
— Speech recognition software such as Dragon NaturallySpeaking.
— Browser-based accessibility tools and extensions.
