Accessibility Statement for Midlands Irish Construction Network (MIC)

Midlands Irish Construction Network (MIC) is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We aim to provide a website that is easy to use and accessible for everyone, regardless of technology or ability.

Measures to support accessibility

We take the following measures to ensure accessibility of the MIC website:

  • Incorporating accessibility into our design and development processes
  • Using accessibility tools, including the Elementor Accessibility (a11y) plugin, to identify and fix accessibility issues
  • Regularly testing our website against recognised accessibility standards
  • Providing guidance to staff and contributors on creating accessible content
  • Welcoming feedback to continually improve accessibility

Conformance status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility. They define three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

The MIC website is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. This means that while many areas meet accessibility standards, some parts of the website may not yet be fully accessible. We are committed to ongoing improvements and are actively addressing issues using accessibility tools and best practices.

Technical information

The accessibility of this website relies on the following technologies:

  • HTML
  • WAI-ARIA
  • CSS
  • JavaScript

These technologies are required for the proper functioning of the website and to meet accessibility standards.

Limitations and alternatives

Despite our best efforts to ensure full accessibility, some content may present limitations. Examples include:

  • Some older documents or PDFs may not be fully accessible. We can provide accessible alternatives upon request.
  • Some third-party features or embedded content may not fully meet accessibility requirements. While these are outside our control, we will raise accessibility issues with the providers where possible.

If you experience any accessibility barriers, please let us know so we can work to address them.
