Legal / Accessibility Statement

Making the Foundation website usable for as many people as possible.

This Accessibility Statement explains our approach to accessible website design, the standards we aim to follow, known areas for improvement, and how to contact us if you encounter a barrier.

Our commitment

Accessibility should be part of how the website is designed, built, and maintained.

HEADTURNED Foundation is committed to providing a website that is accessible and usable for as many people as reasonably possible, regardless of technology, ability, device, browser, or access need.

We aim to embed accessibility into design, content, navigation, development, testing, and ongoing improvement as the website evolves.

This Statement should be read alongside our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

What we aim for

The website should be clear, navigable, readable, and adaptable.

In practical terms, we aim to provide:

  • clear content that is structured with meaningful headings and readable language;
  • layouts that adapt across screen sizes, devices, zoom levels, and orientation changes;
  • navigation and interactive elements that can be used with keyboard input where reasonably possible;
  • sufficient colour contrast for text, buttons, links, and important interface elements;
  • appropriate alternative text or labels for meaningful images, icons, controls, and form fields; and
  • a design approach that avoids unnecessary barriers caused by animation, motion, layout, or visual styling.

Standards and compatibility

We aim to align with recognised accessibility standards as the website develops.

The website is built using modern web technologies and is designed to work with current versions of major desktop and mobile browsers.

We aim to follow recognised accessibility principles, including clear structure, semantic markup, keyboard accessibility, readable contrast, responsive layouts, and compatibility with common assistive technologies.

We also aim to support operating system-level accessibility features such as screen readers, text scaling, zoom, reduced motion, voice control, and high-contrast or increased-contrast settings where reasonably possible.

Known limitations

The website is evolving, and some areas may need further accessibility refinement.

As the website develops, there may be areas where accessibility can be improved further.

  • some interactive components, animations, transitions, or visual effects may need further testing or refinement with assistive technologies;
  • some images, diagrams, media, or older content may need enhanced alternative text, captions, transcripts, or improved structure;
  • some third-party services, embedded tools, payment flows, security checks, or form protections may not be fully controlled by us; and
  • older browsers, unsupported devices, or unusual assistive technology combinations may not provide the intended experience.

We are committed to reviewing and improving accessibility as new features are added and as feedback is received.

Device features

Your browser or device may offer additional accessibility support.

Many devices, operating systems, and browsers include built-in accessibility features such as zoom, larger text, screen readers, voice control, captions, reduced motion, increased contrast, colour filters, and keyboard navigation support.

Using these tools alongside the website’s design choices may help tailor the experience to your needs.

Feedback and reporting

Tell us if you encounter an accessibility barrier.

If you have difficulty using any part of this website, or if you believe something is not accessible, we welcome your feedback.

Where possible, please include:

  • the page, feature, or form you were trying to use;
  • what happened and what you expected to happen;
  • the device, browser, operating system, or assistive technology involved, if you are comfortable sharing that information; and
  • any screenshot, screen recording, or description that may help us understand the issue.

Further help

You may have external routes for accessibility concerns depending on where you live.

Depending on where you live, you may have routes to raise accessibility concerns with external bodies, regulators, or advisory organisations.

If you raise an accessibility issue with us and are not satisfied with our response, we will try to signpost to appropriate external guidance where we reasonably can.

Review and updates

This Accessibility Statement will be reviewed as the website and standards develop.

This Statement will be reviewed periodically and updated where necessary to reflect changes in the website, user feedback, accessibility testing, relevant standards, or guidance.

The version published on this page is the version currently in force.

Accessibility feedback can be raised through the contact routes provided on this website, including the contact page.
