Guide to submitting content for the WCRP website

Text and images should ideally be sent as separate items, so we can format, optimise and annotate them to meet WCAG guidelines.

Please provide text alternatives for any non-text content, that serve the equivalent purpose, so it can be changed into other forms people need, such as large print, Braille, speech, symbols or simpler language.

Where possible, please avoid sending any text sent solely as an image e.g. such as a poster, as the content of an image cannot be read by a screen reader.
The contrast ratio for the colour of the text to the background must be at least the minimum contrast ration of 4.5:1
If you cannot avoid this, you must also include a transcript of all information you want communicated .

PDFs – these must be checked before sending to ensure they are WCAG 2.1 compliant. Where possible a text /Word version should be included.Images must have alt-tags attached.

Videos – Captions must be provided on all video content. Audio tracks must be accompanied by a transcript.

Thank you for your help in this matter.
