Accessibility Information

Valentina Carlile's website provides information about her professional activities and the VocalPro, Vita and Production programmes.

Through the website, users can:

• access information about the activities and services presented;

• learn more about the different professional programmes;

• read articles and editorial content;

• use contact forms;

• subscribe to the newsletter;

• access, where applicable, external services used to manage bookings;

• browse content in Italian and English.

The main sections of the website can be accessed through the navigation menu.

Content is organised through pages, sections, headings, text, images and links.

Forms available on the website provide information about the details required to submit an enquiry or subscribe to the newsletter.

The website language can be changed using the dedicated language selector.

Some functions, such as booking services, may direct users to external platforms managed by third parties.

Several measures have been implemented in the current version of the website to improve the perceivability, understandability and usability of its content.

In particular:

• the main pages are organised using a hierarchical structure of headings and subheadings;

• essential content is available in text form and does not rely exclusively on images to communicate information;

• informative images are provided with alternative descriptions where appropriate;

• menus, buttons and main links use text intended to make their purpose understandable;

• the main form fields include indications describing the information requested;

• the website uses a responsive layout designed to adapt to different screen sizes;

• essential information is not communicated exclusively through colour;

• content is available in both Italian and English;

• the structure and content of the website are reviewed as part of website updates and maintenance.

Despite the measures already implemented, some accessibility limitations are currently known.

Colour contrast

In some areas of the website, the contrast ratio between text, interface elements and their backgrounds may not reach the values recommended for a high level of accessibility.

This issue concerns certain colour combinations associated with the website's current visual identity.

These elements are considered during subsequent design and website review activities, with the aim of progressively improving readability.

For this reason, the complete absence of accessibility barriers is not declared.

Images that communicate relevant information are provided, where appropriate, with alternative descriptions.

Graphic elements used exclusively for decorative purposes are not intended to communicate information that is essential to understanding the service.

As the website also contains editorial content that is periodically updated, individual images and other non-text content may undergo further accessibility reviews during future updates.

The main forms available on the website provide information about the details requested from users.

Interactive components are reviewed during website updates with the aim of keeping their purpose understandable and facilitating their use.

The actual user experience may nevertheless vary depending on the device, browser and assistive technology used.

Some features may be provided through external websites, applications or platforms, for example for booking management.

The code, interfaces and operation of these services are not directly controlled by Valentina Carlile.

As a result, the accessibility of third-party platforms may also depend on the technical solutions and updates implemented by their respective providers.

If an external feature cannot be used, users may contact Valentina Carlile to request assistance and, where reasonably possible, an alternative way to access the relevant information or service.

The accessibility of the website has been subject to an internal review that considered, among other aspects:

• page organisation and structure;

• content hierarchy;

• text and links;

• images and their text alternatives;

• main forms;

• navigation;

• responsive display;

• colour contrast.

This internal review does not constitute certification issued by an independent body and cannot guarantee the complete absence of additional accessibility barriers.

Accessibility is therefore managed as an ongoing improvement process.

When significant changes are made to the website's structure, content or functionality, further reviews may be carried out. Identified issues are assessed according to their impact on the use of the website and, where possible, considered during subsequent technical or design updates.

Feedback received from users may also be used to identify issues that did not emerge during internal reviews.

Anyone who experiences difficulty accessing content or using a website feature may submit a report indicating, where possible:

• the page or feature concerned;

• the issue encountered;

• the device, browser or assistive technology used, where relevant to understanding the issue.

Reports may be considered as part of the ongoing process of improving the website's accessibility.

Where content or functionality presents an accessibility barrier, users may request, where reasonably possible, an alternative way to obtain the same information or receive assistance.

This page has been prepared taking into account the principles established by Directive (EU) 2019/882 – European Accessibility Act, implemented in Italy through Legislative Decree No. 82 of 27 May 2022, and using the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines as a technical reference for the assessment of web content.

Reference to these standards and regulations does not constitute a declaration of certification or full compliance with all applicable legal requirements.
