Queer Calendar Sheffield is a website created entirely by volenteers to help promote LGBTQ+ events in Sheffield and make information about them more accessible. As such we have an incredibly strong committment to making sure that the information we colate is accessible to everyone and go to great lengths to ensure accessibility is a key consideration througout the development process.
We are attempting to stay compliant with W3C Accessibility Guidelines 3 standard this is still a working draft set of guidelines and may change over time so we won't always be perfectly up to date and compliant though we aim to be.
Please reach out to us at [email protected] to report any accessibility issues, ask for assistence accessing the site or request an alternative format if needed. We aim to respond to inquiries within a week.
We encourage users to provide feedback on the accessibility of our website. Your insights are valuable in helping us enhance our features and address any potential barriers. Please report any issues or share your experiences with accessibility by contacting us at [email protected].
You can find a list of all the known accessibility issues here. Feel free to open a new issue if you encounter any accessibility-related problems. If you're unfamiliar with the process, please refer to GitHub's guide on creating an issue.
This website may contain content from 3rd parties, some of this may be beyond our control and it may not be possible to ensure it is always accessible. We hope to be able to provide guidance and support for event organisers who wish to list their events here eventually, but this is not currently something we are capable of.
Currently the testing is entirely manual and all done by one individual, we are working on putting in place more rigorous accessibility testing and review procedures and automating the process to help us catch issues before they go live.
We aim to update this accessibility statement with every major update to the website, though we can't garentee any specific frequency due to the nature of being a volenteer run project.
We are required by the UK Equality Act 2010 to make reasonable ajustments to ensure our service is accessible to all. We aim to exceed this requirement wherever possible.
