We are continuously working to improve the accessibility and usability of our website so that parents, guardians, and visitors can access information about our services easily and without barriers.

What Web Accessibility Means
Web accessibility ensures that websites, tools, and technologies are designed so that people with disabilities can use them effectively.
An accessible website allows users to:
• Navigate pages easily
• Understand content clearly
• Interact with forms and features
• Use assistive technologies such as screen readers or keyboard navigation
Our goal is to ensure that all families can access information about Clutch After School Club programmes, locations, and services regardless of ability.

Accessibility Standards
The Clutch After School Club website aims to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines WCAG 2.1 Level AA, which are internationally recognised standards for digital accessibility.

These guidelines help ensure websites are:
• Perceivable
• Operable
• Understandable
• Robust for assistive technologies
Accessibility Adjustments on This Website
We have taken steps to improve accessibility across our website, including:
• Setting the main website language clearly
• Using logical page structure and heading hierarchy
• Ensuring readable text sizes and scalable content
• Adding alternative text descriptions to images where appropriate
• Implementing colour combinations that meet recommended contrast levels
• Ensuring website navigation can be used with keyboard controls where possible
• Minimising excessive animation or motion effects
• Structuring content so it works with screen readers and assistive technologies

The website has also been reviewed using accessibility tools to identify and address potential accessibility issues where possible.
Third Party Content
Some pages on the website may contain links or embedded content from third party providers such as:
• Social media platforms
• Video hosting services
• Online registration or booking platforms

Clutch After School Club does not control the accessibility standards of these external platforms. While we aim to work with providers that support accessibility, some content may not fully meet WCAG standards.

If you encounter difficulty accessing third party content through our website, please contact us and we will assist where possible.
