Accessibility at Governance360 Group

Our aim at Governance360 Group - Accessibility for All

Accessibility is the term used to describe whether a website can be used by people of all abilities / disabilities on a range of differing digital devices.

At least 1 in 5 people in the UK have a long term illness, impairment or disability.  At Governance360 Group, we are committed to treating all customers fairly and with respect, including those customers who may be in vulnerable situations or may have difficulties accessing our services. 

Our Commitment to Accessibility

To achieve this goal, we continually work towards meeting the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1. These guidelines serve as a blueprint for enhancing web content accessibility for individuals with disabilities while ensuring a user-friendly experience for all.

The WCAG comprises three accessibility levels - A, AA, and AAA.  We are committed to achieving, at a minimum, Level AA as the benchmark for the governance360.com website.

Our Progress

We have dedicated considerable effort to enhance the governance360.com website, striving to meet our Level AA accessibility target. It forms part of our management reporting and is a standing agenda on our monthly development team reviews and planning.

We will continue to monitor and maintain our site to keep with this standard. If you encounter any difficulties, please reach out to us.

Your Feedback Matters

Your experience matters to us. Whether you found navigating governance360.com seamless or encountered challenges, we value your feedback. Please take a moment to share your thoughts. Your insights will aid us in continuously improving our accessibility standards.

Conformance Status

Governance360 is dedicated to ensuring that our website is accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. We will continue to strive to meet level AA conformance of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) across all pages. These guidelines are globally recognised for their role in fostering inclusivity on the web.
