Website accessibility

DoNoHarm BC’s website provides markup for screen reader accessibility following WCAG 2.0 standards. It includes keyboard navigation, aria labels, and focus control. Our website is designed with visual contrast and font legibility in mind.

In the spirit of transparency: our website used to include an accessibility widget (sometimes referred to as an “accessibility overlay”), in an attempt to improve compliance with WCAG 2.1 Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. However, we have removed this widget in response to user feedback, due to its potential to inadvertently create further barriers for some users. You can learn more about this topic via the Overlay Fact Sheet here.

All images on DoNoHarm BC’s website include alt text. Key photos (as well as charts and infographics) also include image descriptions. We invite all photo subjects to provide their own visual description if they choose, or to offer feedback on existing descriptions, to ensure accurate and affirming representation. While photos are taken and used with permission, should you wish to have your images removed, cropped, or censored at a later date, please let us know at any time.

Here for you

We know accessibility is a constant work in progress. That means we’ll keep updating this accessibility policy over time. It also means some website content may not yet be fully adapted to the most intuitive accessibility standards.

If you encounter an access barrier or technical issue, or if you questions, we encourage you to get in touch.
