Our Commitment

CHARAVÉA Mentorship Academy is committed to making our website and digital services as accessible, inclusive and easy to use as reasonably possible.

We want girls and young women, parents, carers, mentors, volunteers, professionals and partner organisations to be able to access information about CHARAVÉA regardless of disability, additional need or method of accessing the website.

Accessibility is part of our wider commitment to equality, diversity, inclusion, dignity and respect.

Designing for Accessibility

We aim to make our website accessible by:

• Using clear and straightforward language.

• Providing appropriate headings and structured content.

• Using readable typography and sufficient spacing.

• Providing alternative text for meaningful images where appropriate.

• Ensuring links have clear descriptions.

• Designing pages to work across different screen sizes and devices.

• Supporting keyboard navigation where reasonably practicable.

• Avoiding unnecessary visual or interactive complexity.

• Considering users who may have visual, hearing, physical, cognitive or learning needs.

• Reviewing accessibility as our website and digital services develop.

Accessibility and Our Programmes

Accessibility also applies to the way CHARAVÉA delivers its mentoring, workshops and personal development programmes.

Where appropriate, we will consider reasonable adjustments and individual communication or participation needs.

Parents, carers and participants are encouraged to tell us about accessibility requirements as early as possible so that appropriate arrangements can be considered.

Third-Party Content

Some content or services accessed through our website may be provided by third parties. We cannot always control the accessibility of external websites, platforms or resources.

Where possible, we aim to provide clear information and suitable alternatives where an external resource creates an accessibility barrier.

If You Experience an Accessibility Problem

If you have difficulty accessing any part of our website, please contact us.

We welcome feedback about:

• Pages that are difficult to navigate.

• Information that is difficult to understand.

• Problems using the website on a mobile device.

• Problems using assistive technology.

• Images or content that need additional explanation.

• Accessibility barriers affecting participation in our programmes.

When contacting us, please tell us which page or service you are having difficulty accessing and, where possible, what would help you access the information or service.

Alternative Formats

Where reasonably practicable, we will consider requests for information in an alternative or more accessible format.

Depending on the nature of the request, this may include providing information in a different digital format or offering an alternative way to communicate with us.

Accessibility and Safeguarding

Accessibility needs will be considered alongside our safeguarding responsibilities.

Where a participant has additional communication, accessibility or support needs, these should be considered as part of appropriate programme planning and risk assessment.

Our commitment to accessibility does not replace our safeguarding responsibilities. Where a safeguarding concern arises, our safeguarding procedures will apply.

Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

Our approach to accessibility supports our Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Policy.

We aim to create environments where girls and young women are treated with dignity, respect and fairness and are given appropriate opportunities to participate and develop.

Continuous Improvement

Accessibility is an ongoing process.

We will review our website and digital content as part of our wider website maintenance and organisational review processes. Feedback from users will help us identify areas where improvements may be needed.
