Accessibility

CBM’s website has been designed and developed with the needs of people with disabilities on top of our mind. This includes people with sight loss, hearing , mobility and cognitive impairments. In order to ensure that content is accessible we aimed to meet the WCAG 2.0 standard level AAA when developing this website.
WCAG is a technical standard published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) that guides page authors and site designers to construct an accessible website.

We are always working to make improvements to the accessibility and usability of the website. If you have any comments and or suggestions about our website or if you experience any accessibility issues while using our website, please let us know by writing to contact(at)cbm(dot)org.

We only use alt text where an image conveys essential information for the meaning of the webpage – for example a diagramme showing statistical figures. Where an image is purely decorative, we don't use alt text as this is superfluous information and extra “noise” that distracts from essential information on a page when a screen reader is being used.

We try our best to ensure we test our website with a range of technologies. However,  we cannot commit to testing every browser version with every version of assistive technology, nor to testing on every operating system version or mobile handset type.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to us via contact@cbm.org should you have questions or suggestions regarding the accessibility of www.cbm.org.
