Accessibility Statement

VELA Recruitment (“VELA”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology, ability, or location. Our goal is to make our online information and services easy to use and understand for all users, including people with disabilities.

VELA aims to align this website with internationally recognised accessibility standards, such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, as far as is reasonably practicable.

Measures to support accessibility

To support accessibility on this website, VELA:

Uses clear structure and headings to help with navigation and screen reader use.
Aims for sufficient colour contrast between text and background.
Uses readable font sizes and scalable text where possible.
Avoids relying solely on colour to convey meaning.
Seeks to provide descriptive alternative text for meaningful images and icons.
Designs forms with clear labels and instructions.

Where third‑party content or plugins are used, full accessibility may not always be within our control, but we aim to choose solutions that are as accessible as possible.

Technical information

This website is designed to be used with modern web browsers and on a range of devices, including desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. Users can typically adjust browser or device settings (such as zoom level, contrast, and text size) to support their individual needs.

Some older browsers or assistive technologies may not fully support all features of the website. Keeping your browser and assistive software up to date usually provides the best experience.

Known limitations

Despite our efforts, some content or features may not yet be fully accessible. For example, there may be:

Occasional images without full alternative text.
PDFs or documents that may not be fully optimised for screen readers.
Third‑party widgets or embedded content that may not meet the same accessibility standards.

VELA is committed to continuous improvement and will work to address accessibility issues as they are identified and as our website evolves.
