This site has been designed with accessibility for a wide range of support needs in mind to ensure the information present is accessible by everyone, regardless of preferred web browser or individual need. Please contact us if you have any difficulties using the site so that we can adapt it accordingly.
Standard practice on this site is to use Alt Text on an image only when an image conveys information necessary for the meaning of the page, such as when a diagram demonstrates how to do something. Where an image is purely decorative, Alt Text is purposefully not used so as to prevent screen readers having to work through this superfluous information/extra ‘noise’. This ensures screen reader users have direct access to the essential information on a page. Any images that don’t have Alt Text have an empty alt tag, which is indicated by using “”.
As host to the Highland ND Hub, Thriving Families ensures adherence to relevant legislation through conformance to level Double-A of the World Wide Web Consortium W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0.

The site displays correctly in current browsers and using standard compliant HTML/CSS code means any future browsers will also display it correctly.
