Our Accessibility Statement

The Labour Party is an inclusive member-based organisation that prides itself on being accessible to all who share its values.

We believe that it is important to make our website accessible to all potential users. With this in mind we have worked hard to improve the website for people with all disabilities and impairments.

We have ensured the availability of "alt text", a simple and clear approach to online layout and improved colour contrast. We have also facilitated the use of different browsers in a number of ways including the removal of frames from the site. Our site works well in text-only browsers and fits the criteria for people with visual impairment.

Additionally, great care is taken when designing new pages to ensure that navigation is simple, links are accurate and images are clear. We try to ensure that articles on the site are written in plain English in order that people of all ages and abilities can engage in the party's activities.

This site uses only relative font sizes, compatible with the user-specified "text size" option in visual browsers. If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the content of each page is still readable.

It is structured with semantic HTML5 markup. Cascading style sheets are used for visual layout. Both are validated as by the W3C Markup Validation Services.

All pages are WCAG AA approved, complying with all priority 1 and 2 guidelines of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. This is a judgement call; many guidelines are intentionally vague and can not be tested automatically.

We hope that this makes the site accessible to as many users as possible but we recognise the need to continue to improve in this area.

If you have any comments or suggestions you would like to make regarding the website, please email tony.cunningham.mp@parliament.uk.
