Web Accessibility Statement
The Educational Leadership Consortium of Nova Scotia (ELCNS) is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We strive to continually improve the user experience for everyone by applying relevant accessibility standards where appropriate.
Conformance Status
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. These guidelines outline three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.
While ELCNS aims to adhere to WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines, we acknowledge that some content may not fully conform to these standards. We remain dedicated to identifying and addressing accessibility barriers as part of our ongoing efforts.
We believe accessibility is an ongoing process, and we are committed to regularly reviewing and enhancing our website to ensure it meets the needs of all users.
Feedback
We welcome your feedback on the accessibility of the ELCNS website. If you encounter any accessibility barriers, please let us know through the contact information provided on our Contact Us page.
