Essential Needs is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to people with disabilities. We strive to provide an inclusive and user-friendly experience for everyone, regardless of their abilities. We are continuously working to enhance the accessibility of our website and to adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) to the best of our ability.

ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

Web accessibility refers to the inclusive practice of removing barriers that prevent interaction with, or access to websites, by people with disabilities. When sites are correctly designed, developed, and edited, all users can have equal access to information and functionality.

What web accessibility is

We have implemented several features to make our website accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities. Some of these features include alternative text for images, clear heading structures, and color combinations that meet the required color contrast ratios. We have also made efforts to reduce the use of motion on the site and ensure that all videos, audio, and files are accessible.

Accessibility adjustments on this site

Essential Needs is dedicated to ensuring accessibility not only on our website but also in our physical offices and branches. We have implemented various accessibility arrangements, such as disabled services and accessibility accessories, to provide a seamless experience for individuals with disabilities.
