Next planned accessibility audit: September 2027
The William Henry Smith Foundation is committed to making our website accessible to as many people as possible, regardless of ability or technology. We aim to provide an inclusive online experience and to continually improve the accessibility of our website.
Current Accessibility Status
Our website has been designed with accessibility in mind. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA standard wherever possible.
Following recent accessibility testing using the WAVE Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool, we identified a small number of technical issues requiring further attention. The alternative text issues identified during the testing have now been addressed.
The remaining issues identified through the testing relate primarily to the website's underlying code and technical implementation. These are being addressed by our web development agency.
We currently consider the website to be partially compliant with WCAG 2.2 Level AA while these improvements are being implemented.
Known accessibility issues
The remaining issues identified through our latest accessibility testing include:
Third-party content: some third-party content, services or plugins may not fully meet accessibility standards and may be outside our direct control.
Testing and Review
We use automated accessibility testing as part of our ongoing monitoring. We recognise that automated testing cannot identify every accessibility issue. A further formal accessibility audit is planned for September 2027. We will use the findings from that audit to assess progress and identify any further improvements required.
We will also review this accessibility statement at least annually and update it sooner where significant changes are made to the website or where new accessibility issues are identified.

We welcome feedback about the accessibility of our website. If you encounter an accessibility barrier, have difficulty accessing any content, or need information in an alternative format, please contact us.
