1. Our Commitment
We want everyone — including people with disabilities, older persons, and people using assistive technology — to be able to access the information and services on our website.
We try to make our content clear, readable and usable, and to continuously improve accessibility as our website grows.
2. Standards We Aim For
We aim to work towards the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with a wide range of disabilities.
3. Measures We Have Taken
- Using clear, plain language where possible.
- Using semantic headings and structured content.
- Ensuring text and background colours have good contrast.
- Making links and buttons clear and keyboard accessible.
- Adding descriptive alt text to meaningful images.
- Ensuring forms have clear labels and helpful error messages.
- Supporting screen readers and keyboard navigation.
4. Known Limitations
We are aware that some areas of the website may not yet be fully accessible. For example:
- Some older documents or images may not be fully accessible.
- Some third-party services we link to may not meet accessibility standards.
- Some content may not yet be available in all South African languages.
If you find any barrier, please tell us so we can fix it or provide the information in another way.
