Web Accessibility
SAVO is striving to
comply with all of the Priority 1 and 2 accessibility
checkpoints across its web presence, as established in the
World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) web accessibility
initiative (WAI). The WAI promotes a high degree of
usability and accessibility for people with disabilities.
The W3C promotes good practice amongst the web community via
initiatives like WAI (http://www.w3.org/WAI/)
Web Contact Accessibility Guidelines 1.0.)
It is possible that some of our older pages might not
currently conform to these standards. However, we are
actively engaging with content providers across the
University to ensure that all future web pages are compliant
with W3C guidelines for accessibility.
