Accessibility

Our Approach

We aim to make the RAMC Association website clear, readable and easy to navigate. Wherever possible, we try to follow recognised accessibility guidance and good practice, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines produced by the World Wide Web Consortium.

As the website continues to develop, we will keep accessibility under review and make improvements where we identify issues or receive feedback.

Changing Text Size

Most modern browsers allow visitors to increase or decrease the size of text and page content. This can usually be done by using the browser zoom controls.

• On Windows, press Ctrl and + to zoom in, or Ctrl and – to zoom out.
• On Mac, press Command and + to zoom in, or Command and – to zoom out.
• You can usually reset the page zoom by pressing Ctrl and 0, or Command and 0 on Mac.

You may also be able to change default font sizes through your browser settings. The exact steps vary depending on whether you are using Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Safari or another browser.

Keyboard Navigation

The website is intended to be usable with a keyboard where possible. This can help visitors who do not use a mouse or who use assistive technology.

Common keyboard controls include:

• Use the Tab key to move forwards through links, buttons and form fields.
• Use Shift and Tab to move backwards.
• Use the Enter key to activate a selected link or button.
• Use the Space Bar to select or unselect checkboxes.
• Use the arrow keys to move through some dropdown menus and form controls.

Colour and Contrast

We aim to use colours that provide suitable contrast between text and background areas. We also try to avoid relying on colour alone to communicate important information.

If you find any part of the website difficult to read because of colour, contrast or background imagery, please contact us so that we can review it.

Images and Documents

Where possible, we aim to use meaningful image descriptions and clear document titles. Some older documents, archive material or externally supplied files may not be fully accessible.

If you need information from a document in a different format, please contact us and we will do our best to help.

Forms

The website may include forms for general enquiries, branch enquiries, membership enquiries, events or other Association-related purposes.

We aim to make forms as clear and straightforward as possible, with labelled fields and helpful instructions. If you experience difficulty using a form, please contact us through an alternative route where available.

Third-Party Content

Some parts of the website may include content or services provided by third parties, such as embedded forms, event booking tools, maps, social media links or external websites.

We do not have full control over the accessibility of third-party platforms, but we will consider accessibility when choosing and reviewing the services we use.

Ongoing Improvements

Accessibility is an ongoing process. As the RAMC Association website is updated, we will continue to review the design, content and functionality to improve usability for all visitors.

Feedback and Contact

If you have difficulty using this website, or if you have suggestions on how accessibility could be improved, please contact the RAMC Association.

When contacting us, it would be helpful if you can include:

• The page or feature you were trying to use.
• What the issue was.
• What device, browser or assistive technology you were using, if relevant.

We will review accessibility feedback and use it to help improve the website where possible.
