Accessibility Statement for the Lino Spiteri Foundation Website

This accessibility statement applies to the website:
https://linospiterifoundation.org

1. Commitment to Accessibility

The Lino Spiteri Foundation is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability.
Our goal is to provide a user experience that is inclusive, equitable, and compliant with recognised accessibility standards — specifically WCAG 2.1 Level AA and the European Standard EN 301 549.

We strive to make continuous improvements so that all users, including those using assistive technologies such as screen readers or keyboard navigation, can easily access our information and services.

2. Compliance Status

Based on the latest accessibility audit (August 2025), this website is currently partially compliant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA and EN 301 549.
Partial compliance means that while most areas meet accessibility standards, some sections still require adjustments to achieve full conformity.

3. Accessibility Improvements in Progress

The Lino Spiteri Foundation website is currently undergoing accessibility updates following a comprehensive audit conducted in August 2025.

We are actively working to enhance compliance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA and EN 301 549, addressing identified issues such as:

  • Colour contrast across headers, banners, and buttons

  • Heading hierarchy and labelling consistency

  • Alternative text for images and graphics

  • Keyboard navigation and visible focus indicators

  • Carousel accessibility and sitemap structure

These updates are being rolled out in phases between October and December 2025, in collaboration with our web development partner.

Our goal is to ensure that all users — including those relying on assistive technologies — can access and navigate the website easily.

If you encounter any accessibility barriers during this period, please contact us using the details below so we can prioritise and resolve them as quickly as possible.

4. Feedback and Contact

We welcome feedback on the accessibility of the Lino Spiteri Foundation website.
If you experience any issues, or wish to request information in an alternative format, please contact us:

The Lino Spiteri Foundation was set up as a Public Social Partnership between the Employment & Training Corporation and the Empower Coop Ltd. The aim of the Foundation is to enhance inclusion through empowering vulnerable individuals and working closely with civil society through a Council of NGOs that will support and guide the direction of the organisation.

Central to this is the individual who aspires to employment, inclusion and greater independence. The foundation’s role is to give them support and an opportunity to reach their fullest potential, whatever it may be.
