Accessibility Statement

Introduction

At Patriotic Citizens Initiative (PCI), we are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. Our mission of reintegrating Nigerians back to Nigeria is rooted in inclusivity, and we strive to ensure that all individuals, regardless of their abilities, can fully access and engage with our website.

We continually work to improve the accessibility of our website and digital platforms, so that users can access essential information, make donations, volunteer, and participate in PCI’s activities with ease.

​

Accessibility Goals

PCI is committed to providing an accessible and user-friendly website for all visitors. We aim to adhere to widely recognized accessibility standards, such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, to ensure a seamless experience for all users, including those who rely on assistive technologies.

​

Key Accessibility Features

We have implemented the following accessibility features to improve the usability of our website for individuals with disabilities:
 

  • Keyboard Navigation: Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard, ensuring users who cannot operate a mouse can still browse and interact with the website.
     

  • Text Alternatives: Images and non-text content are provided with meaningful alternative text (alt text), making it accessible for users who use screen readers.
     

  • Consistent Structure and Layout: We use headers, titles, and labels that are descriptive and consistent, ensuring easy navigation and comprehension of the content.
     

  • Readable Text: We maintain clear and readable text with sufficient contrast between text and background to enhance readability for all users, including those with visual impairments.
     

  • Resizable Text: Users can adjust text size to suit their visual needs without breaking the structure or functionality of the website.
     

  • Form Labels and Instructions: All form fields, including those for donations, volunteering, and account registration, are clearly labelled and provide instructions to ensure users can easily input and submit required information.
     

  • Accessible Forms: Our forms are designed to be accessible for users relying on screen readers or keyboard navigation, ensuring they can easily interact with donation forms, volunteer sign-ups, and account creation.
     

  • Video and Audio Content: Where video or audio content is used, we aim to provide transcripts or captions to ensure accessibility for users with hearing impairments.

​

Ongoing Improvements

We understand that digital accessibility is an ongoing process, and we are committed to continual improvement. We regularly test and audit our website to identify potential barriers and implement fixes to meet evolving accessibility needs. We utilize automated testing tools and manual testing, including screen readers, to ensure compliance with WCAG 2.1 standards.
 

We also monitor legislative updates regarding digital accessibility in both the UK and the EU to remain compliant with evolving regulations. We welcome user feedback to ensure that our website remains inclusive and accessible to all.
