Accessibility Statement

At Beyond Words Collective CIC, we believe everyone deserves to be heard, understood and able to access information with confidence.

We are committed to making our website as accessible, inclusive and easy to use as possible for everyone, regardless of ability, disability, age, technology or individual circumstances.

Accessibility is central to our values, and we continually work to improve the experience for all visitors.

Our Commitment

We aim to create a website that:

  • is easy to navigate and understand
  • uses clear, straightforward language wherever possible
  • provides good colour contrast for readability
  • uses accessible fonts and text sizes
  • works across a range of devices, including mobile phones and tablets
  • supports keyboard navigation where possible
  • includes alternative text for meaningful images
  • avoids unnecessary complexity
  • is continually reviewed and improved.

Accessibility Standards

We aim to meet the principles of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA, which are internationally recognised standards for accessible websites.

While we strive to meet these standards throughout the website, accessibility is an ongoing process and improvements are made as the website develops.

How You Can Use This Website

We aim for visitors to be able to:

  • zoom in without losing content or functionality
  • navigate using a keyboard
  • use screen readers and other assistive technologies
  • read content that is presented in a logical and consistent way
  • access forms that are clearly labelled and easy to complete
  • find information without unnecessary barriers.

Known Limitations

Although we work hard to make our website accessible, there may occasionally be areas that do not yet fully meet our accessibility goals.

For example:

  • older downloadable documents may not yet be fully accessible
  • some third-party services or embedded content may have accessibility features outside our control
  • accessibility improvements may be introduced as new content and resources are added.

We are committed to reviewing these areas and making improvements wherever reasonably possible.

Alternative Formats

If you need information from this website in a different format, we will do our best to help.

Where reasonably possible, we can provide information in alternative formats such as:

  • larger text
  • accessible Word documents
  • accessible PDFs
  • plain text versions
  • other formats where appropriate.

If there is a format that would better meet your needs, please let us know.

Our Ongoing Commitment

Beyond Words Collective CIC is built on the belief that every person deserves to be heard, respected and included.

We recognise that accessibility is not a one-time task but an ongoing commitment. As our website, services and resources grow, we will continue reviewing and improving accessibility so that as many people as possible can benefit from everything we offer.

Thank you for helping us create a more inclusive community.
