The Youth of Today website has been designed with accessibility in mind.

We want the website to be available to as many Internet users as possible, and so have implemented the following considerations.

Text-only browser navigation

Hidden links have been embedded into the pages to allow text browsers to easily navigate the website.

Fully described links

Where possible all hyperlinks in The Youth of Today website clearly describe the content that is available.

Reduced/non-intrusive JavaScript

JavaScript has been used in various parts of the website to enhance the users’ experience. However, we have taken careful measures to ensure that the navigation and core content is independent of JavaScript. This allows text only browsers and non-JavaScript browsers access to all of the information on The Youth of Today website.

Image explanations

All of the images used that contain content or text have a text alternative describing the image’s data.

Structured content order

We have structured the pages of The Youth of Today website to be relevant and intuitive when read through a text-only browser. Where the content cannot be placed in the navigation, we have placed links to skip directly to the page content.

Colour considerations

To aid users who have difficulty with colour blindness we have made an effort to not use red/green combinations.

Non-fixed font sizes

Where possible text on The Youth of Today website is of a non-fixed, scalable size to allow users to resize the text in their browser to a comfortable size. Users should refresh their browser to see these text changes.

Standards compliance

As far as possible we have made all of The Youth of Today pages follow the highest web standards compliance. We have followed the W3C guidelines in xHTML 1.0 Transistional, CSS and WAI Accessibility.

Access Problems

Unfortunately no website can claim to be fully accessible, so if you have any problems accessing The Youth of Today website or can raise any accessibility issues that are affecting your comfortable use of the website, please email admin@theyouthoftoday.org to discuss the problems.
