Accessibility

Our goal

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA on this website and in the Globus app for iPhone and Android.

What we have done

• Every form field has a label. When an answer needs fixing, the reason is shown next to the field and read out by screen readers.
• Every link and button can be reached with a keyboard, a clear outline shows where you are, and a skip link jumps straight to the page content.
• The app follows your phone's text size setting, and its layouts are tested with large text. The website keeps working when you zoom in.
• Text and controls are checked against the WCAG colour contrast minimums, and our automated tests fail when a public page falls short.
• Buttons and controls in the app have names that VoiceOver (iPhone) and TalkBack (Android) read out, they are large enough to tap, and status is never shown by colour alone.
• Everything is available in English and Korean. Pages and screens tell screen readers which language they are in, so Korean is read with a Korean voice.

Known limits

• The booking and camp sign-up screens in the app have not yet had a full screen reader review. That review is next.
• Card details are entered on Stripe's secure payment page. Stripe looks after the accessibility of that page.
• The staff pages of this website are checked less often than the pages families use.
