smievingen is committed to making our website and services usable by as many people as possible, including those who rely on assistive technologies. We believe career development should be within reach for everyone.
Our approach
We aim to align our website with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. We treat accessibility as an ongoing effort rather than a one-time task, and we review our site regularly as it evolves.
What we do
- Use clear, readable typography with sufficient colour contrast.
- Provide visible keyboard focus so the site can be navigated without a mouse.
- Include descriptive labels and alternative text for meaningful graphics.
- Respect the "reduced motion" setting for visitors who prefer fewer animations.
- Structure pages with semantic headings to support screen readers.
- Build layouts that adapt to mobile, tablet, and desktop screens.
Coaching and training accessibility
If you have specific access needs for coaching sessions or programme materials — such as captions, alternative formats, or scheduling adjustments — let us know in advance and we will do our best to accommodate you.
Known limitations
Some content, such as the embedded map, is provided by third parties and may not fully meet our accessibility standards. Where this affects you, we are happy to provide the same information in another format on request.
