Accessibility statement

We want everyone to be able to use this website. This page says what we have done, how we checked it, and how to tell us if something does not work for you.

What you should be able to do

  • use the whole site with a keyboard alone
  • use the site with a screen reader
  • zoom text up to 200% without losing content or scrolling sideways
  • use the site on a small phone screen
  • turn off animation: the site follows your device’s reduce motion setting
  • send the Get started form and hear or see every error message
  • in the Community, make all text larger and raise the contrast in your Community settings
  • in Community chat, hear new messages read out by a screen reader, or turn that off
  • read the Community rules in Easy Read

The standard we aim for

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2, level AA. Text colours are measured against their backgrounds and meet the AA contrast ratio of at least 4.5 to 1 for normal text.

How we tested it

On 23 September 2026 we checked every page:

  • with the axe automated accessibility checker, on a desktop and a phone screen size
  • using only a keyboard, including the menu and the form
  • at a screen width of 320 pixels, and with text zoomed to 200%
  • by sending the form with mistakes, to check every error is explained

On 2 October 2026 we checked the Community, Community Ally and the Difability Dot:

  • with axe on every screen of each journey: joining, posting, replying, reporting, blocking, settings and notifications at screen widths of 1440, 393 and 320 pixels, and Ally applications, chat, the Dot and the staff screens at 1440 and 393 pixels
  • with the largest Community text size, at widths from 320 to 1440 pixels, for sideways scrolling
  • in chat and on the Community’s rules, safeguarding and moderation pages: using only a keyboard, with text zoomed to 200%, and with reduce motion turned on
  • by completing each journey from start to finish in a real browser

Automated checks find some problems but not all of them. If something does not work for you, we want to know.

Known limitations

The Difability logo is an image of three-dimensional lettering. It has a text alternative, so screen readers announce it as “Difability”.
