Statement of commitment

Age Action Ireland has made ageaction.ie accessible in accordance with EU Web Accessibility Directive. 

We are committed to maintaining AA standard under WCAG 2.1 guidelines. 

Compliance status

ageaction.ie compliant with WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines. 

Non-accessible content

PDFs:  Many documents on the site are published as PDFs.  

PDFs are less accessible than HTML pages for people using assistive technologies.  

Some of the issues with PDFs include: 

• The fact that they are not bookmarked ( WCAG guideline 2.4.5 ) 
• Tables in PDFs are not defined ( WCAG guideline 1.3.1 ) 

This content is not an exhaustive list of non-accessible content. 

Exempted content

• Donate Now – our donation platform is a third-party platform: we do not have access to make accessibility changes to this platform. 
• PDF documents that were published before June 2025 are exempt from these guidelines and we are committed to creating more accessible PDFs for future publications. 

How we test the Age Action Ireland website

We use the WCAG level AA guidelines to test how accessible ageaction.ie is.  

We used the Website Accessibility Conformance Evaluation Methodology (WCAG-EM) approach to assess the site.  

We will continue to assess our accessibility, in particular, to address any new issues that may occur. 

How we are improving accessibility on Age Action Ireland’s website

• We will continue to insist that departments use plain English to describe our services and any information members of the public require access to.
