1. Commitment to accessibility

St Oliver Plunkett National School is committed to making its website accessible to all users, including people with disabilities. We aim to meet established accessibility standards and to remove barriers that prevent full use of our website by all members of our school community and wider public. Accessibility considerations are included in our ongoing content publishing and website maintenance processes. 

2. Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standard. Conformance with this standard means most content is accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, but there are known limitations that we plan to address. 

3. Accessibility Features

St Oliver Plunkett National School takes the following measures to ensure accessibility of this website:

• Using clear and simple language where possible
  
  

• Using clear and legible fonts with colour contrasts that are designed to easily read
  
  

• Ensuring the site can be navigated using a keyboard
  
  

• Providing alternative text for images where appropriate
  
  

• Designing content to work with assistive technologies such as screen readers
  
  

4. Non-accessible content

Despite our efforts to ensure accessibility, some parts of this website may not be fully accessible. Known issues include (but are not limited to):

• Some images or graphics may be missing alternative text descriptions.

• Some PDF documents or files may not be fully accessible to assistive technologies such as screen readers.

• Pages or elements may not always be fully operable using keyboard-only navigation.

We are continually working to improve our site’s accessibility and reduce these barriers. 

5. How this accessibility statement was prepared

This statement was prepared through a self-assessment and review of website content and structure against WCAG 2.1 guidelines. The review focused on common accessibility barriers experienced by users with disabilities and on areas known to require improvement, such as text alternatives, navigation structure, and document accessibility.
