Accessibility Statement

Last updated: 28/11/2025

Sirius Homecare is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. We want all visitors to be able to use our website with ease, regardless of their abilities or the technology they use.

We aim to meet the requirements of the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) Accessibility Regulations 2018, the Equality Act 2010, and follow best practice guidance from the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA.

Our commitment

We are actively working to:

Make our website clear, simple, and intuitive to navigate
Provide content that is easy to read and understand
Ensure good contrast, legibility, and keyboard accessibility
Support screen readers and assistive technologies
Continuously review accessibility as the site evolves

Current accessibility features

We have implemented the following across the Sirius Homecare website:

High-contrast colour combinations
Readable font sizes and spacing
Proper heading structure for screen readers
Alternative text for meaningful images
Descriptive link text
Keyboard-friendly navigation
Clear focus indicators
Accessible forms with labels
Compatibility with common assistive technologies

Where images are decorative or used purely for layout, they are marked to be ignored by screen readers.

Areas we are working to improve

We recognise that some content may not yet be fully accessible. We are actively reviewing:

Older documents or PDFs that may not be fully screen-reader friendly
Third-party plugins or embeds (e.g., Google Calendar, HubSpot forms), which may not fully meet WCAG standards
Videos or multimedia content that may require captions or transcripts

We aim to resolve these issues or provide accessible alternatives wherever possible.

Third-party content

Some areas of accessibility are outside our direct control, including:

Embedded tools
External booking or email marketing forms
Video players
Social media feeds

When using these services, we rely on their providers to maintain accessibility standards.
