Non-Accessible Content

Despite our best efforts to ensure the accessibility of the World Vision Ireland website, we are aware of some limitations, which we are working to fix in the next 6-12 months. Please contact us if you encounter an issue not listed below.

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons:

    • Some icon-based links/buttons are not labeled for screen reader users.

    • Focus indicators may be missing or not clearly visible.

  3. Forms and Checkout Process

    • Form fields may not have associated labels or accessible names.
    • Some required fields are not announced correctly by assistive technologies.
    • The donation process may rely on dynamic content that is not accessible to screen reader users.
