Accessibility Statement

We have undertaken to use our knowledge and understanding of the ways in which different people access the Internet, to develop a web site that is clear and simple for everybody to use.

We hope that your experience with St. Joseph's website is efficient and enjoyable

St. Joseph's web team works to ensure that all users, regardless of their technical set-up or disabilities, can access the information provided on www.sjhc.london.on.ca

To achieve that goal, our web developers followed the standards established by the World Wide Web Consortium - WC3.

The templates for the St. Joseph's website are designed to meet and exceed the basic level of accessibility set by the W3C and required by both Federal and Provincial governments for public websites (known as Priority One or Priority A or Level 1).

W3C Priority Two standards have been incorporated into the coding of these templates to ensure a greater degree of future-proofing of the site. These additional standards include key items such as using cascading style sheets to separate content from design/structure, providing an alternative print style sheet, colour and usability enhancements.

Please note that the standards established by W3C are under review by industry, government, critical end users, accessibility proponents, etc. Upcoming 2.0 standards are currently in draft form and at time of writing there is no quantitative method or tool to test sites, and the draft 2.0 standards are not yet suitably defined or finalized.

Throughout development, these templates have been checked for accessibility compliance from both an automatic and a manual checkpoint perspective to ensure that they meet known legislated and recommended standards.
