Accessibility Statement for Silver Sirens

 

Last Updated: July 30, 2025

​

At Silver Sirens, we are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including those with disabilities. Our mission to redefine ageing as a time of possibility and connection extends to creating an online experience that is inclusive, equitable, and user-friendly.

 

Our Commitment

 

We strive to adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA**, implementing measures such as:

​

• Text Alternatives: Alt text for images and descriptive links.

• Readable Content: Clear fonts, resizable text, and high color contrast.

• Adaptable Layouts: Responsive design for mobile and assistive technologies.

 

Areas for Improvement

 

We recognize that accessibility is an ongoing process. Currently, we are working to:

• Enhance video captions and transcripts for our event replays and webinars.

• Improve form labels for screen readers in our membership sign-up flows.

• Conduct regular user testing with diverse age groups and abilities.

 

Feedback & Support

​

Your input helps us grow. If you encounter barriers or have suggestions:

​

• Email: admin@silversirens.org

• We aim to respond within 5 business days.

 

Third-Party Content

​

Some event pages (e.g., hosted on Eventbrite or Humanitix) may have limited accessibility features beyond our control 16. We encourage partners to prioritize inclusivity and will advocate for improvements.

​

Accessibility at Events

​

For in-person gatherings (e.g., Redefining Ageing 2025 in Coffs Harbour), we provide:
 

• Venues with wheelchair access and seating accommodations.

• Hearing loops and welcome your sign-language interpreters when necessary (advance notice required).

 

Silver Sirens celebrates diversity in all forms. Together, we’re building a digital and physical world where every woman feels seen, heard, and empowered—regardless of ability or age.
