Access for all

We’re working to make sure everyone can use the PAVS website.

Accessibility

This accessibility statement applies to the PAVS website pavs.org.uk.

PAVS works hard to ensure that its website is accessible to a wide audience. We listen and respond to feedback and follow established standards for design and accessibility.

We’re helping our website visitors by:

Making sure the PAVS website meets the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standard.

The PAVS website has been built so that as many PAVS visitors as possible can use it. You should be able to:

  • Zoom in, without the text spilling off the screen.
  • Navigate most of the website using just a keyboard.
  • Navigate most of the website using speech recognition software.
  • Listen to most of the website using a screen reader.
  • Our brand colours have been chosen to help make webpages easy to read.

We know that some people have trouble with reading text on certain colours. You may be able to use your own colours with your browser.

The PAVS website uses cascading style sheets for visual layout.
If your browser or browsing device does not support style sheets, the content of each page is designed to be still readable.

Supported Browsers and Mobile Devices

We’ve made the PAVS website text as simple as possible to understand. Please note that this website may not function correctly if you are using an older browser e.g. Internet Explorer. So it’s recommended that you use newer browsers like Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.

If you need extra help in using computers, the web and assistive technology, we recommend you visit the site BBC My Web My Way. This site has videos and information to help you use the accessibility features of your computer and how to make it easier to use the web.

How accessible is the PAVS website?

The PAVS website is partially compliant with the WCAG version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below:

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons:

Discernible text in links (we tend to use “click here”, “learn more”, etc instead of what the link is).
Incorrect heading levels and skipping heading levels. Examples are H1 and then the next is a H3.
Not all content is useable by keyboard-only users.

Office Hours

Our staff are now working in a hybrid way which means they may not be in the office, but working from other venues or home working. Due to changes in the way we now work, we are not holding meetings or running training events in person from our premises. However, if you wish to meet with a member of staff then please email them directly or call their business mobile number. The staff contact list is kept up to date with the most recent information.

If you do need to call at our premises, we are open from 9.00am to 5.00pm Monday to Thursday and 9.00am to 4.30pm on a Friday (except on Bank Holidays). Between 9am and 10am, and after 2pm, Monday to Thursday and all day Friday you may need to ring the bell (situated on the right hand side of the door). If you are just delivering mail, then please use the letter box on the front door.

Thank you for your ongoing support.
