Accessibility

Our Aim

Everyone should be able to read this site, find their way around it and donate, including people who use a screen reader, a keyboard, magnification or voice control. We use the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, level AA, as our reference.

What the Site Does

On the public pages:

• Text is checked for contrast against the color actually behind it, including on photographs.
• Every button, link and form field has a name a screen reader can announce.
• Buttons, links, checkboxes and radio buttons are at least 24 by 24 pixels, the size WCAG 2.2 AA asks for, apart from links inside a sentence.
• The first thing the keyboard reaches on each page is a link that skips to the main content.
• The menus work with a keyboard, show where the focus is, and close with Escape.
• Animation is turned down when your device asks for reduced motion.
• The site is in 17 languages, and Arabic, Farsi and Urdu read right to left.

How We Check

We test the public pages in a real browser with an automated audit of contrast, names and target sizes. An automated check does not catch everything, so we want to hear when something gets in your way.
