Section 508

VHFA endeavours to conform to the electronic and information technology accessibility standards as described in Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.

These guidelines explain how to make Web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines will help make the Web more user-friendly for all people.

W3C standards

This site has been built using code compliant with World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standards for HTML 4.01 and CSS. The site displays correctly in current standards-compliant browsers and using standards-compliant HTML/CSS code means future browsers will also display it correctly.

Exceptions

While VHFA.org strives to adhere to accepted guidelines and standards for accessibility and usability, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the Web site.

We are continually seeking solutions that will bring all areas of the site up to the same level of overall accessibility. In the meantime should you experience any difficulty in accessing the VHFA.org, don't hesitate to contact us.
