Accessibility  Statement

Commitment

OpenLivestock.com is committed to making our website and member portal accessible and usable for as many people as possible, including disabled users.

​

Standards and approach

• We aim to meet WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines.

• We use clear headings, meaningful link text, high-contrast colour palettes, keyboard-accessible navigation and form labels.

• Videos and live Zoom events: we will provide guidance for using Zoom accessibility features and can supply captions/transcripts on request where feasible.

​

What we are doing

• Ongoing audits of templates and key user flows (registration, listings, auction registration).

• Testing with keyboard-only navigation and common screen readers.

• Monitoring feedback channels and fixing issues based on impact and usage.

​

Known limitations

• Embedded third-party components (e.g. Zoom registration pages or video players) may not fully meet our design standards.

• User-generated content (seller images or documents) may not always be accessible. We encourage sellers to provide clear, well-labelled content.

​

Requesting information in an accessible format

If you need information in a different format (accessible PDF, large print, easy read, audio recording) or need reasonable adjustments to participate in a live auction, please contact us at office@openlivestock.com We will consider your request and respond within 10 working days.
