ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT
- Effective date:

Our commitment
The Ability Foundation is committed to making its website and online services accessible to as many people as possible, including persons living with visible and non-visible disabilities, older people, and people using assistive technology or slow connections.
We are designing and reviewing the site against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA. This is our design target. We have not been independently audited or certified, and we do not claim that every page fully meets the standard today.
What we do
Keyboard navigation
Every page, menu, form and button is designed to be reachable and usable with a keyboard alone, with a visible focus indicator and a skip link to the main content.
Screen-reader compatibility
We use meaningful headings, landmarks, link text, form labels and error messages so that screen readers can describe the page accurately. Decorative images are hidden from assistive technology.
Readable text
Body text is set at a comfortable size and line length, and the site respects text resizing and browser zoom without losing content.
Colour contrast
Text and interactive elements are chosen to meet WCAG 2.2 AA contrast ratios, including on dark navy and teal backgrounds. Colour is never the only way information is shown.
Responsive design
The site adapts to phones, tablets and desktops, and does not require a particular screen orientation.
Accessible forms
Form fields have visible labels, required fields are identified, and errors are described in words next to the field. Our forms do not rely on time limits.
Captions and transcripts
Where the Foundation publishes video or audio, we aim to provide captions or a transcript. If you find media without one, please tell us.
Known limitations and ongoing work
The Foundation is growing deliberately, and some parts of the site may still contain barriers. We make reasonable efforts to find and correct accessibility problems, and we review the site as new pages and features are added. This statement may be reviewed and updated as the Foundation develops.
Report an accessibility problem
If something on this site is hard or impossible for you to use, please tell us what you were trying to do, which page it was on, and what got in the way. We will review it and let you know what we can do. If you need information in another format, say so in your message.
You can also use our Contact page, or ask someone you trust to send a message for you.
