6. Current Accessibility Status
A lot of our website meets the requirements of WCAG 2.1 Level AA and aligns with the accessibility principles set out under the European Accessibility Act.
We continue to review and enhance certain areas of the website. As a result, the website is currently considered partially compliant with applicable accessibility standards.
7. Known Limitations
We are aware of certain areas where accessibility may be dependent on third-party providers or subject to ongoing improvement:
- Third-party forms and embedded tools may not fully meet accessibility standards in all cases

We are working to address these areas where possible and to support users who require assistance.

Accessibility is an ongoing process. Dolmen Insurance is committed to:
- Regularly reviewing website accessibility
- Using both automated and manual testing methods
- Addressing identified issues based on priority and user impact
