The Merseyside Youth Association (MYA) site is built using HTML5 and CSS 3. This creates a fast loading website that is accessible to screen readers and is usable in most browsers, including older browsers and browsers available on non-Windows systems.
Text in images is avoided where possible, but is always available in the ALT tags.
We use Plain English as much as possible.
Should you need to, most browsers enable you to change the text size – you can see information for Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox and Opera here and instructions for Google Chrome are here.
All images have ALT tags. Where appropriate, ALT tags provide screen reader users and those with images turned off with a description of the content of the picture.
Unfortunately, Merseyside Youth Association (MYA) does not have the resources at present to provide transcripts and audio descriptions for video content.
We have made our website compatible with all modern browsers. However, if you are using an older browser, our pages may not be presented in the best possible way. It may help you to download a newer version of a browser.
Whilst Merseyside Youth Association (MYA) strives to adhere to the accepted guidelines and standards for accessibility and usability, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the website. We will be continually working to improve the accessibility and usability of the website, but if you have any suggestions or are experiencing any difficulties downloading files or accessing a particular page please contact us.
