EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all visitors, including people with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards to achieve this.
Conformance Status
The EPIC website is designed to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.
Accessibility has been considered throughout the design, development, and content creation process, and the site has been tested using a combination of automated tools and manual review.
Measures to Support Accessibility
- To ensure accessibility across epicchq.com, we have implemented the following measures:
- Clear and consistent page structure using semantic HTML and ARIA landmarks
- Properly labelled navigation, page headers, and main content regions
- Meaningful alternative text for informative images and appropriate handling of decorative images
- Accessible headings and logical heading order
- Keyboard-accessible navigation and interactive elements
- Accessible embedded media where possible, including labelled iframes
- Ongoing testing and remediation of accessibility issues as content is added or updated
Third-Party Content
Some pages on epicchq.com include third-party embedded content (for example, social media video embeds). While we aim to ensure these embeds are accessible and provide appropriate labels and context, we do not have full control over the internal accessibility of third-party platforms. Where limitations exist, we provide accessible alternatives or additional context where possible.
