Accessibility Statement

Last updated: July 2026

The JDM Presidential Library & Legacy Centre believes that access to knowledge and heritage is a right, not a privilege. This statement outlines our commitment to digital accessibility and the steps we are taking to ensure everyone can engage with our content.

Our Commitment

The JDM Presidential Library & Legacy Centre is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. We aim to meet or exceed the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards and continuously work to improve the accessibility of our digital presence.

Measures We Have Taken

We have taken the following steps to make this website accessible: providing text alternatives for non-text content; ensuring sufficient colour contrast between text and backgrounds; using clear and consistent navigation throughout the site; structuring content with semantic HTML headings; ensuring all interactive elements are keyboard-navigable; and labelling all form inputs clearly.

Known Limitations

While we strive for full accessibility, some content — particularly older documents, third-party embedded media, and certain image-heavy sections — may not yet fully meet all accessibility standards. We are actively working to address these gaps as the website continues to develop.

Assistive Technologies

This website is designed to be compatible with common assistive technologies, including screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, and browser zoom features. We recommend using an up-to-date browser and assistive technology for the best experience.

Feedback and Contact

We welcome feedback on the accessibility of this website. If you experience any barriers or have suggestions for improvement, please contact us at [email protected] or call +233 244 020 280. We aim to respond to accessibility feedback within five working days.

Physical Accessibility

The Northern Star Centre, when built, will be designed with full physical accessibility in mind — including step-free access, accessible restrooms, tactile pathways, and dedicated facilities for visitors with disabilities. We are committed to ensuring the Centre is welcoming to all.

Formal Complaints

If you are not satisfied with our response to your accessibility concern, you may escalate the matter by writing to us at [email protected] with the subject line "Accessibility Complaint". We will review your concern and respond within ten working days.
