Website Accessibility Policy
Last Updated: 17th December 2024
At YFWIH Your First Wealth is Health, trading as Fitness Freedom Athletes, we are committed to making our website accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities. We aim to comply with the Equality Act 2010 and follow the guidelines outlined in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at the AA level.
We are continuously working to improve accessibility across our digital platforms to ensure that everyone, regardless of ability, can access and benefit from our services.
Our Legal Obligations
Under the Equality Act 2010, we are legally required to make “reasonable adjustments” to ensure individuals with disabilities are not disadvantaged when accessing our services.
Although private businesses are not explicitly required to meet specific accessibility standards, WCAG 2.1 AA is recognised as a benchmark for compliance with the Equality Act.
If you are a public sector body, this policy also complies with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
Our Commitment to Accessibility
To make our website accessible, we:
- Follow Best Practices in Accessible Design
- Provide text alternatives (alt text) for non-text content, such as images and graphics.
- Ensure that our content is easily navigable using assistive technologies like screen readers.
- Maintain clear font styles, sufficient contrast ratios, and adaptable page layouts for readability.
- Conduct Accessibility Reviews
- Perform periodic audits and use tools to test for accessibility barriers.
- Regularly update the website to address new challenges and maintain compliance with WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines.
- Offer Alternative Access
If users encounter accessibility challenges, we provide alternative formats or solutions on request.
