Accessibility Policy

We strive to provide a website that is accessible to people with disabilities. This lets us give everyone a better and more user friendly experience. We are always looking at ways to make improvements, and applying the relevant accessibility standards.

Conformance status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. The Impact & Insight Toolkit website endeavours to conform to WCAG 2.1 level AA standards.

 

We aim to make the website more usable for everyone by:

 

  • Making good use of headings, and white space, to make content easier to read.
  • Having a consistent navigation structure, so it is easy to tell where you are, and how to get elsewhere.
  • Using colours that provide good contrast.

How to adjust your computer to make websites easier to see and use

There are some changes you can make to your computer to make any website, including ours, easier to see and use on your computer, mobile phone, or tablet. We recommend taking a look at My Computer My Way: a resource developed by AbilityNet with support from Microsoft and the BBC as a source of accessibility help for all computer users. This unique resource explains all the accessibility features available in popular desktop computers, laptops, tablets and smartphones, including Windows, Mac OSX, iOS, Android and Windows Phone.

All of these devices have features that enable people to adapt their computer to suit their needs, such as changing the colours and text size or using voice activation. Take a look at My Computer My Way to find out more about what features you could be using.
