Accessibility Statement

1. What Web Accessibility Is

Web accessibility means that websites, tools, and technologies are designed and developed so that people with disabilities can use them without barriers. This includes people with visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, and neurological disabilities. An accessible website ensures that everyone can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the content — regardless of the device or assistive technology they use. RotOlympics is committed to meeting this standard because we serve diverse communities across Jamaica and beyond, and that includes making sure our digital presence is as welcoming as our physical one.

2. Accessibility Adjustments on This Site

Our website is built on Wix, which provides a range of built-in accessibility features that we have applied across our site. These include clear and readable font sizes and styles throughout all pages, sufficient colour contrast between text and background elements to support users with visual impairments, alternative text applied to images so that screen readers can describe visual content to users who cannot see it, keyboard navigation support so that users who cannot use a mouse can still move through the site, and a site structure that uses clear headings and logical page organisation to help users navigate content easily. We are committed to reviewing and improving these adjustments regularly as our website grows.

3. Declaration of Partial Compliance with the Standard Due to Third-Party Content

Certain pages or features on our website may include third-party content or tools — such as embedded social media feeds, external donation platforms, or third-party event registration forms — that are not fully within our control. As a result, we cannot guarantee that all third-party content meets the same accessibility standards as the rest of our site. We are working to identify these areas and will seek accessible alternatives wherever possible. We appreciate your patience as we address these limitations.

4. Accessibility Arrangements in This Organisation

As a volunteer-led community organisation, RotOlympics is committed to making our programs, events, and communications accessible to all community members — both online and in person. If you require information from our website in an alternative format, such as large print or a simplified version, please reach out to us directly and we will do our best to accommodate your request. We also encourage branch coordinators and club officers to apply the same spirit of accessibility and inclusion when organising community events and activities across our parishes.
