Web Accessibility Statement

High Island Health is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website and in doing so adhere to many of the available standards and guidelines.

This website endeavours to conform to level Double-A of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines will help make the web more user friendly for all people.

This site has been built using code compliant with W3C standards for HTML and CSS. The site displays correctly in current browsers and using standards compliant HTML/CSS code means any future browsers will also display it correctly.

Whilst HIH strives to adhere to the accepted guidelines and standards for accessibility and usability, it may not always possible to do so in all areas of the website.  If we enable a user forum, there may be user generated content on there which occasionally goes outside these guidelines.  We would our best to identify and remedy these occurrences. 

We are continually seeking out solutions that will bring all areas of the site up to the same level of overall web accessibility. In the meantime should you experience any difficulty in accessing the HIH website, please don’t hesitate to contact us at websupport@highisland.com.
