Accessibility Policy
The RCC-RD-MCD team has a long-term and continuing commitment to meeting the needs of people who rely on assistive technologies in a timely manner by preventing and removing barriers to accessibility. Our goal is to provide accessible, high-quality information and resources. The steps we take include:
- Our technical team regularly monitors the site's technical architecture against the industry standards for accessibility.
- We ask content authors from the RCC-RD-MCD network to ensure that the resources they submit are compliant with standards and provide accessibility training resources.
- As of this time, we do not audit these contributions ourselves.
- RCC-RD-MCD staff advocate for accessibility compliance within the RCC-RD-MCD Network through education and technical assistance.
Please contact us if you have trouble accessing any of our content so that we can attend to any problems as soon as possible.
