Last Updated: [September, 2026]
1. Statement of Commitment to Digital Accessibility
[Isarel, Britain and The Commonwealth Association (R.A.) is deeply committed to ensuring equal rights, inclusion, and full digital access for all members of the public. We believe that internet services should be usable by everyone, including individuals with visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive disabilities.
We have invested significant resources into optimising our website to make it as accessible and welcoming as possible, firmly believing that every person deserves to live and browse with dignity, comfort, and independence.
2. Conformance Status and Technical Adjustments
This website has been designed and adapted to comply with Israeli Standard (IS) 5568 ("Guidelines for Internet Content Accessibility") at Level AA. This standard adopts the international W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 as its baseline.
The primary accessibility features implemented on this website include:
- Keyboard Navigation: Full support for navigating the site, menus, forms, and buttons using only a keyboard (via the Tab and Enter keys).
- Screen Reader Compatibility: The site structure uses semantic markup and attributes to ensure compatibility with popular assistive screen-reading technologies for users with visual impairments.
- Colour Contrast: Text and background elements maintain a strict contrast ratio that aligns with the required standards to aid readability.
- Text Alternatives: Structural images and relevant graphical content include descriptive alternative text (Alt text).
- Accessible Donation & Contact Forms: Web forms are labelled clearly to facilitate smooth input and display error notices clearly if fields are filled out incorrectly.
- Consistent Layout: The site layout is predictable, utilizing simple hierarchical headers to make text easy to follow.
3. Exemption Status
- In accordance with Regulation 35 of the Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities (Accessibility Adjustments to Service) Regulations, the Amuta qualifies for an automatic financial turnover exemption from certain web accessibility implementation guidelines, as its average annual turnover is below 100,000 ILS. However, we remain committed to digital inclusion and have actively integrated basic accessibility optimisations to support our users.
4. Known Limitations and Ongoing Improvements
Despite our best efforts to make every page on this website fully accessible, certain components, dynamically linked elements, or external frames (such as embeddable maps or widgets) may not yet completely meet the required standard.
Digital accessibility is an ongoing process. We continuously monitor our platform, update content thoughtfully, and upgrade underlying code to remove barriers as they arise.
