Scotiabank International is committed to providing an accessible website. This accessibility statement describes what we have already done to make our website accessible, what we intend to do to improve its accessibility, and how we plan to maintain these standards.
Scope of this Statement
Standards Compliance
Current State of Compliance
Level A Compliance
We currently meet all but two of the Level A compliance checkpoints. These are:
-
Checkpoint 6.3 (pages operate without the use of java scripting, applets or other programmatic objects) – The user must have JavaScript enable at all times to access and use the site. Due to the nature of the web application technology employed on the site we cannot offer an alternate set of pages for users to access.
Maintaining Accessibility Standards
Once a section of the website has been made to meet the above accessibility standard, we continually review the site and modify pages to ensure they continue to be accessible. This review process includes, among others, the following processes:
-
Some WCAG 1.0 checkpoints - such as making sure pages validate to W3C web grammars - can be checked automatically. We run automatic checks regularly on the site to ensure compliance in these areas.
-
New sections of the site will only be added once they meet the above standards.
-
We will continue to develop our in-house editorial guidelines to ensure we produce accessible content.
