Accessibility statement

What this website aims to do

This site is built to be usable by as many people as possible, working towards the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. That is the standard being aimed for; it is a statement of intent and ongoing effort rather than a claim of certified conformance.

In practice that means:

• pages use proper headings and landmarks, so screen readers can navigate the structure;
• everything can be reached and operated with a keyboard, and the focused element is visibly outlined;
• a "skip to content" link is provided at the top of every page;
• text and interface colours are chosen to meet contrast requirements, and colour is never the only way meaning is conveyed;
• form fields have visible labels, errors are described in text, and error messages are announced rather than shown by colour alone;
• images that carry meaning have text alternatives, and decorative images are hidden from assistive technology;
• pages reflow and remain usable when zoomed or viewed on a small screen, and tap targets are sized for touch.

Known limitations

This is an honest list rather than a claim of perfection. Accessibility is reviewed as the site changes:

• Some longer workshop descriptions are dense; work continues on making the language and structure simpler.
• Formal testing has been carried out with keyboard navigation and automated checks. Wider testing with a range of assistive technologies and disabled users has not yet been completed.
• Any documents shared outside the website may not all be fully tagged for screen readers. Accessible versions can be provided on request.

Accessibility in sessions

Adjustments to training, workshops and coaching are welcomed and normal. Things that can usually be arranged include:

• materials sent in advance, in large print or in a plain format;
• captions or a transcript for online sessions;
• planned breaks, a quieter space, or a slower pace where the subject matter is heavy;
• alternatives to group exercises for anyone who would find them difficult;
• discussion of venue access requirements before an in-person session is confirmed.

Please raise access needs as early as possible, and they will be built into the planning rather than handled on the day.

About this statement

This statement was prepared in November 2025 and is reviewed when the site changes. It is based on self-assessment, including keyboard testing and automated checks, rather than an independent audit.
