Digital Accessibility
The Center for Advanced Studies in Child Welfare is making every effort to ensure the information available on our website is accessible to all. Our goal is to deliver a web experience that achieves "Level AA" conformance according to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines v2.1 (WCAG 2.1) to meet both state and national standards for accessibility.
CASCW has worked with the University of Minnesota's Office of Digital Accessibility (ODA) to ensure users have complete, total and universal access to our content.
Our website has gone through accessibility testing and our staff performs accessibility improvements throughout the year on a continual basis. We conduct monthly accessibility audits using a variety of tools available from the University, such as Pope Tech and Editoria11y, as well as partnering with ODA.
Despite our best efforts, we may have missed something. If you notice any accessibility issues, please don't hesitate to contact us with your findings and suggestions.
