What are we doing?

To help us make the Void Art Centre website a positive place for everyone, we have been using the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities and user friendly for everyone.

The guidelines have three levels of accessibility (A, AA and AAA). We’ve chosen Level AA as the target for Void’s website.

Social Narrative Videos

Derry City and Strabane District Council’s Access and Inclusion team have led on the design of Social Narrative Videos, aimed to be particularly helpful for disabled and neuro diverse visitors with additional needs to plan their visit.

The initiative is supported with funding from the Department for Communities Access and Inclusion programme and the videos can be accessed on the Council’s websites.
