This accessibility statement applies to the websites related to Edinburgh Carpentries, including the main website at edcarp.github.io/ and the individual websites for each workshop. These websites are run by volunteers mainly from The University of Edinburgh.
We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:
- zoom in up to 200% without the text spilling off the screen
- navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
- navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
- listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of VoiceOver)
We have also tried to make the website text as simple as possible to understand.
AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
Some content provided by third parties has not been tested for accessibility yet, e.g. Powerpoint and PDF files. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1 (non-text content) and potentially the category of criteria under 1.4 (Distinguishable). We aim to fix this as soon as effort becomes available. When we publish new content, we'll make sure that the files meet minimum accessibility standards.
Some parts of the website have very low contrast between foreground and background colours. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum). We aim to fix this as soon as effort becomes available.
