Accessibility

The Southern Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust (SMCT) is committed to providing an accessible website and information. 

Whilst we strive to adhere to the accepted guidelines and standards for accessibility and continue to make changes to improve, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the website. We are continually seeking out solutions that will bring all areas of the website up to the same level of overall web accessibility.

If you have experienced any accessibility barriers while using any part of our website, we welcome your feedback. 

The SMCT website aims to meet the Web Content Accessibility GuidelinesExternal site (WCAG) 2.1. 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). Wherever possible, The Southern Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust (SMCT) will aim to adhere to level AA of the WCAG 2.1 guidelines, which states that sites should be:

• Perceivable - Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive.
• Operable - User interface components and navigation must be operable.
• Understandable - Information and the operation of user interface must be understandable.
• Robust - Content must be robust enough that it can be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.
