Accessibility
This accessibility statement was last updated: April 2017
The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC)’s website www.ccpc.ie follows guidelines on accessibility set out by the W3C (the World Wide Web Consortium). The W3C WAI (Web Accessibility Initiative) produces accessibility guidelines that are an internationally recognised benchmark of accessibility.
As a minimum standard, this site has been designed to meet all Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0, W3C World Wide Web Consortium Recommendation 11 December 2008, Level A and Level AA Success Criteria. Many of the guidelines listed as level three (required for an AAA rating) also contain some requirements that are important in practice, and we have attempted to achieve as many of these level-three guidelines as practical in the design and implementation.
