The Asthma Association of Ireland recognises the importance of ensuring that the vci.ie website is accessible to everyone and is committed to ensuring our services are readily available to all persons.
We are committed to making our website and services accessible, in accordance with European Union (Accessibility of Websites and Mobile Applications of Public Sector Bodies) Regulations 2020 and to making our content available to the widest possible audience, including those who use assistive technologies.
Measures to support accessibility
The Veterinary Council takes the following measures to ensure accessibility of our website www.asthma.ie:
- We are reviewing and updating our website services throughout 2025 and will strive to continually deliver a high standard of accessibility.
- Include accessibility in our internal policies
- Continue to use plain English and accessible language in our communications and publications.
- Publish HTML webpages as standard, reducing the use of printed materials and PDFs as much as possible. If PDFs do need to be used, we will ensure that they have a high standard of accessibility.
- In reviewing our website design and navigation paths, we will ensure that our website meets colour contrast requirements for users with low vision, all information maps are accessible to those using screen readers and navigation of the website is assessable to users of assistive technology.

The definition of the ‘persons with disabilities’ that Access Officers are to help is also listed in the Disability Act. This means people who have a substantial restriction in their ability to work or participate in social life as a result of an enduring physical, sensory, mental health or intellectual impairment.
