Last Updated: April 2026

Statement prepared: April 2026

Last accessibility review: April 2026

1. Our Commitment

The Learning Fort is committed to making its website accessible to all users, including people with disabilities. We aim to meet the requirements of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)

2.1 Level AA, and we work to comply with the Equal Status Acts 2000–2018, the Irish Disability Act 2005, and the European Accessibility Act 2025.

2. Compliance Status

This website is partially compliant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. The areas where we do not yet fully meet the standard are primarily due to the constraints of our website platform (Wix), where some components and embedded elements are outside our direct control.

Known limitations include:

Some interactive elements generated by the Wix platform may not be fully optimised for screen reader use
Some embedded HTML content (including our Glossary) may have limited compatibility with all assistive technologies
Video content may not have full captions in all cases

We are actively working to address these limitations and will update this statement as improvements are made.

3. What We Have Done

We use clear, plain language throughout the site in keeping with our commitment to accessibility for all families and educators
We provide text alternatives for images where possible
We aim for clear heading structures and consistent navigation across all pages
We welcome and act on user feedback about accessibility barriers

4. Scope

This statement applies to all pages and content published on thelearningfort.com, including downloadable resources. It does not cover third-party websites we link to, which are governed by their own accessibility policies.

5. Who Is Responsible

The Learning Fort is a small organisation founded by Carina and Grace. Both founders are jointly responsible for accessibility on this site and will personally respond to all accessibility queries and feedback.
