Accessibility Statement for Very.ie 

We aim to make our website accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. We're working to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 level AA.

Current accessibility status

Most of our website is accessible, but we know some areas still need improvement:

• The global navigation, customer registration, sign-in and checkout journeys are undergoing accessibility updates and are expected to be compliant by April 2026.

• We are also working with third party content providers (eg. Product Reviews) to ensure that their content will also meet the guidelines.

• Our website is specifically designed and developed to interface with assistive technology.

Compliance and testing

We are working to meet WCAG 2.2 AA standards. Accessibility testing includes:

• Manual checks (zoom, colour contrast, keyboard navigation, screen reader use with NVDA and VoiceOver)

• Automated tools such as the Accessible Web Helper Chrome plugin

We log accessibility issues with reference to relevant WCAG 2.2 AA criteria.

Mobile app accessibility

Our mobile apps, available on iOS and Android, are designed to meet WCAG 2.2 AA standards. We use both manual and automated testing to evaluate accessibility, including:

• Screen reader testing using VoiceOver (iOS) and TalkBack (Android)

• Manual testing for contrast, zoom, focus states, and keyboard navigation (where applicable)

• Automated testing tools

We are aware of the following accessibility issues in the app:

• The customer registration, sign-in and checkout journeys are undergoing accessibility updates and are expected to be compliant by April 2026.

• We are also working with third party content providers (eg. Product Reviews) to ensure that their content will also meet the guidelines.
