Accessibility Statement
Last Updated: 10 March 2026
Accessibility Statement
Wayfound is committed to ensuring that its website, wayfound.ie, is accessible to the widest possible audience, including individuals with disabilities. We believe that access to information and services should not be limited by technology, physical ability, or other barriers. Our aim is to provide a website that is inclusive, usable, and accessible for all visitors.
This Accessibility Statement explains the steps we take to improve accessibility, the standards we seek to follow, and how users can contact us if they encounter difficulties accessing any part of the website.
Our Commitment
Wayfound is committed to creating a website environment that supports accessibility and usability for all users. We recognise that people interact with websites in many different ways and may rely on assistive technologies or adaptive strategies when browsing online.
Our goal is to ensure that individuals are able to access the information available on our website regardless of:
- Physical ability
- Visual or hearing impairments
- Cognitive or learning differences
- Assistive technology requirements
- Device type or browser used to access the site
We seek to design and maintain our website in a way that reduces barriers to access and supports inclusive digital access.
Accessibility Standards
Wayfound aims to follow recognised accessibility standards and best practices in order to make the website accessible to the widest possible audience.
Where reasonably practicable, we aim to design and maintain the website in line with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) developed by the World Wide Web Consortium. These guidelines provide internationally recognised recommendations for making web content more accessible.
The WCAG framework focuses on ensuring that web content is:
- Perceivable – Information and user interface components should be presented in ways that users can perceive.
- Operable – Users should be able to navigate and interact with the interface.
- Understandable – Content and navigation should be clear and predictable.
- Robust – Content should be compatible with current and future technologies, including assistive technologies.
We aim, where possible, to align our website with WCAG accessibility principles so that individuals who rely on assistive technologies can access and interact with our content.
Assistive Technologies
Many users access websites through assistive technologies or accessibility features built into their devices. We aim to ensure that our website works as effectively as possible with such technologies.
Examples of assistive technologies include:
- Screen readers that convert text into speech
- Screen magnifiers or text enlargement tools
- Voice recognition software
- Alternative input devices such as switch controls or adaptive keyboards
- Keyboard-only navigation systems
- High-contrast display settings or colour adjustments
Designing our website with these technologies in mind helps improve accessibility for a wider range of users.
Measures We Take to Improve Accessibility
Wayfound aims to implement a range of measures designed to support accessibility and improve the usability of our website.
These measures may include:
Clear and Readable Text
We aim to use clear language and readable text across the website. Text content is structured to improve readability and understanding.
Consistent Navigation
The website is designed with a consistent structure and navigation system so users can move through pages in a predictable and logical way.
Responsive Design
The website is designed to function across a range of devices including desktop computers, tablets, and mobile phones. Responsive design helps ensure that content remains accessible regardless of screen size.
Alternative Text for Images
Where appropriate, we aim to provide alternative text descriptions for images so that users who rely on screen readers can understand the context and meaning of visual content.
Keyboard Navigation
We aim to ensure that core navigation elements of the website can be accessed using keyboard controls, which may be necessary for users who cannot operate a mouse or touch interface.
Structured Content
Pages are organised using headings and structured layouts to make content easier to navigate and interpret for assistive technologies.
Colour and Contrast Considerations
Where possible, we aim to design pages with appropriate colour contrast and visual clarity to support readability.
Ongoing Accessibility Improvements
Accessibility is an ongoing process rather than a one-time implementation.
Technology, standards, and user expectations evolve over time, and we are committed to reviewing and improving the accessibility of the website on an ongoing basis.
As part of this commitment, Wayfound may periodically:
- Review the accessibility of the website
- Update website design or structure
- Improve content formatting and navigation
- Implement accessibility improvements based on user feedback
- Review developments in accessibility standards and guidance
Our objective is to continue improving accessibility wherever reasonably practicable.
Limitations and Third-Party Content
While we aim to make all content on the website accessible, there may occasionally be limitations where content is provided by third-party services or platforms.
For example, embedded media, external tools, or linked websites may not be fully accessible. Wayfound does not control the accessibility features of third-party websites or services.
Where possible, we will seek to minimise accessibility barriers and provide alternative ways to access information where practical.
