Our Commitment to Accessibility

We strive to create an accessible experience for everyone, including those with physical, sensory, cognitive and other disabilities. Our goal is to ensure that our services, digital platforms and programmes are inclusive and equitable — not as an afterthought, but as a core part of how we operate.

Compliance with Accessibility Standards

The GCFC Foundation NPC complies with all relevant South African accessibility legislation and international standards, including:

Digital and Website Accessibility

We are committed to making our website accessible to all users. Our approach includes:

• Ensuring compatibility with screen readers and assistive technologies.
• Providing alternative text for images and multimedia content.
• Using clear and readable fonts, colours and navigation structures.
• Allowing users to adjust settings such as text size and contrast.
• Regularly testing and updating our digital platforms to enhance accessibility.

Our digital accessibility work is guided by the WCAG 2.1 AA standard. If you encounter a barrier on our website, please let us know — we take all reports seriously and act on them promptly.

Use of Assistive Devices

Individuals with disabilities are welcome to use their personal assistive devices to access our services without restriction. We support a wide range of assistive technologies and make reasonable accommodations as needed. If you require specific support, please contact us in advance so we can ensure the right provisions are in place.

Accessible Communication

We recognise that different individuals may have varying communication needs. To ensure effective communication for all:

• We provide information in accessible formats upon request.
• Alternative communication methods, such as sign language interpretation and text-to-speech tools, can be arranged where possible.
• Our team is trained to accommodate accessibility needs with patience and sensitivity.

Physical Accessibility

Where applicable, we ensure that our physical locations are accessible. This includes:

• Wheelchair-accessible entrances, restrooms and meeting spaces.
• Clear signage and designated areas for individuals with disabilities.
• Assistance available where needed to navigate facilities and access services.

If you have specific requirements ahead of visiting one of our locations, please contact us so we can make the necessary arrangements.

Providing Feedback

We welcome feedback on the accessibility of our services and programmes. If you encounter any barriers or have suggestions for improvement, please get in touch:

Access to Documents

All accessibility-related documents and policies are available upon request. Where required, we will provide materials in accessible formats or with communication supports, in consultation with the requester.

Policy Review and Revisions

We regularly review and update this policy to ensure compliance with the latest accessibility standards. Any aspects of our operations not aligned with our commitment to accessibility will be identified and addressed as part of this ongoing process.
