Accessibility statement

CSI Karnataka Central Diocese wants everyone to be able to use this website, including people who are blind or partially sighted, deaf or hard of hearing, or who have motor, cognitive or learning disabilities. This page explains how accessible the site is, what we know is not yet accessible, and how to tell us about a problem.

What you should be able to do

  • use the whole site with a keyboard only, with a visible highlight showing where you are, and a "Skip to main content" link at the top of every page
  • use the site with a screen reader (such as NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver or TalkBack)
  • zoom the page up to 200% without text being cut off, and use the site on a phone
  • read text that has enough colour contrast against its background
  • fill in our forms, which have a label on every field and clear error messages
  • browse photo galleries with large Previous, Next and Close buttons that also work with the arrow keys and Escape

How accessible this website is

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. The site partially meets this standard: the design and navigation have been reworked to meet it, but some older content does not yet. The known gaps are listed below.

What is not fully accessible yet

  • PDF documents. Many notices, reports, newsletters and magazines are PDF files, often scans, which a screen reader may not be able to read. If you need a document in another format, email us and we will help.
  • Podcasts and videos. Most podcast episodes do not have a written transcript yet, and some videos on YouTube do not have accurate captions.
  • Older pages and photos. Some older pages have headings out of order or lists that are not marked up correctly, and some photos do not have a text description.
  • Services from other companies. The embedded document viewer (Google Docs), maps (Google Maps), videos (YouTube) and the "I'm not a robot" check on forms (Google reCAPTCHA) are provided by Google, and we cannot fully control how accessible they are. The reCAPTCHA check offers an audio option.

We are fixing these step by step, starting with the most used pages and documents.

Tell us about a problem or ask for another format

If you find something on this website that you cannot use, or you need information in a different format (for example large print, an accessible document, or a transcript), please contact us:
