1. Our commitment
Accessibility is part of quality
Catholic Schools Near Me aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA. Accessibility is an ongoing process, especially as the directory expands across institutions, countries, devices and assistive technologies.
2. Features in place
Designed for more ways of browsing
Keyboard access
A visible skip link, logical navigation and native controls support keyboard use.
Readable structure
Semantic headings, landmarks, labels and descriptive page titles support orientation.
Contrast and focus
The palette is designed for legibility and interactive controls provide focus treatment.
Responsive reflow
Layouts adapt across mobile widths and support browser zoom without horizontal page scrolling.
Reduced motion
System reduced-motion preferences disable non-essential smooth scrolling and transitions.
Text alternatives
Meaningful images and icons receive accessible labels or are correctly treated as decorative.
3. Known limits
Third-party and source content
External school websites, Google Maps, OpenStreetMap tiles, source documents and third-party PDFs are outside our direct control and may not meet the same accessibility target. Map information is paired with text listings and links so the map is not the only route to core institution information.
4. Feedback
Report a barrier
If something prevents you from finding or understanding information, tell us the page URL, the task you were trying to complete, the problem encountered, and—if you choose—the browser, device and assistive technology involved. Do not send confidential student information.
5. Response
What happens next
We review accessibility reports, attempt to reproduce the barrier and prioritise issues that block essential tasks. If an accessible version of requested information is reasonably available, we will work to provide it. This statement does not claim that every page is free from every accessibility defect.
