Accessibility

CBF is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including persons with disabilities. We strive to ensure that our website, services, and digital content are accessible and usable by the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability.

We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website and in doing so aim to adhere to internationally recognized best practices and standards for accessibility.

Accessibility Standards

This website aims to conform to the **Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA**, which outline how to make web content more accessible for people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor impairments.

Accessibility Features

To support accessibility, this website includes:

1.  Logical page structure using semantic HTML headings
2. Alternative text for meaningful images
3. Consistent navigation across pages
4. Sufficient colour contrast between text and backgrounds
5. Resizable text and responsive layouts for various screen sizes
6. Clearly labelled form fields and input instructions
7. Descriptive links and accessible downloadable documents where possible

Ongoing Improvements

We recognize that accessibility is an ongoing process and are continually seeking solutions that will bring all areas of the site up to the same level of overall web accessibility. Our website is periodically reviewed using a combination of automated testing tools and manual evaluations to improve usability and accessibility.

Known Limitations

While we strive to ensure full accessibility, some third-party content or legacy documents (such as older PDFs or externally hosted materials) may not yet fully conform to accessibility standards.
