Accessibility and Privacy

Accessibility Accommodations

It is Denver Community Media’s policy to provide reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities. If you require reasonable accommodations when visiting the Denver Community Media offices, please contact the Access Manager at (720) 337-4200 or by email at info@denvercommunitymedia.org.

ADA Website Compliance:

All City vendors and city products are Required to be WCAG 2.0 AA compliant in all public-facing digital experiences. The City is required to perform/obtain automated accessibility testing and manual accessibility testing prior to launch and subsequently each year.

Validation, Review and Remediation:

Manual testing will be performed by certified third party vendors that notify the City when its digital experience is ready for City review and validation. The City will then validate, prior to launch and each term year thereafter, to confirm that the digital experience is compliant with the Guidelines. Manual testing of the Contractor’s digital experience will be verified by City with approved vendors and individuals of varying disabilities which shall include individuals who are blind, deaf or hard of hearing, and who have mobility or dexterity limitations. Upon completion of all testing, a review will be performed by the City’s web accessibility coordinator to confirm completion of all accessibility requirements.

Facility Compliance:

The Denver Community Media Center (CMC) facility has been inspected by a third-party ADA Accessibility Specialist and is in compliance with ADA Title II requirements.
