Commitment to Digital Accessibility

The Virginia Behavioral Health Commission (BHC) is committed to ensuring equitable access to information, services, and programs for all members of the public. We strive to provide digital content and technology that is accessible to individuals with disabilities, including those who use assistive technologies. We are working to conform with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, which is the technical standard adopted by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) for Title II entities.

This commitment applies to:

  • Optimizing our public website for compatibility with assistive technologies (such as screen readers).
  • Ensuring digital documents posted after the compliance deadline have better structural navigation and readability.
  • Designating legacy digital documents as "archived".
  • Third-party integrations to the extent possible.

Third-Party Content

Where third-party platforms or software are integrated, the BHC works to ensure accessibility but may not control all components of those systems. The BHC does not have control over content or documents housed on third-party websites that we may link out to and cannot guarantee the accessibility of third-party content and documents. These documents may include meeting presentations that were created and presented by third parties and posted to our website. While we strive to ensure all content is accessible, some forms on our website are powered by Google Forms, which are third-party tools. The BHC is not responsible for the accessibility compliance of Google Forms. Users may experience limitations with assistive technologies.

Alternative Access and Accommodations

While the BHC strives for compliance, certain non-archived content or complex data visualizations may have limitations. If you encounter any accessibility barriers or need to request an archived report or other document created by the BHC in an alternative format, please contact us. We will make every reasonable effort to provide the requested information in an accessible format.
