Accessibility Statement

1. Our Commitment

Yavini Dental Smiles is committed to ensuring that this website is accessible to all visitors, including people with disabilities. This commitment reflects our values and the broader South African legal context — including Section 9 of the Constitution (the right to equality) and the Promotion of Equality and Prevention of Unfair Discrimination Act 4 of 2000 (“PEPUDA”) — which together affirm everyone’s right to equal access and protection against unfair discrimination. We work continually to maintain and improve the accessibility of this website.

2. Accessibility Standard

This website has been designed with accessibility in mind and aims to conform with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines set out how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, and neurological disabilities.

3. Measures We Take

To support and maintain accessibility, we:

• Build accessibility considerations into our website design, development, and content processes
• Review the website periodically against applicable accessibility standards
• Address reported accessibility barriers within a reasonable time

4. Third-Party Content

This website may include content or functionality provided by third parties — for example, embedded maps, review widgets, or social media content. While we encourage our providers to follow good accessibility practice, content controlled by third parties is outside our direct control and may not fully conform to WCAG 2.2 Level AA. Similarly, certain content such as user-submitted reviews or uploaded documents may have accessibility limitations.
