Accessibility

The Tudor Trust is committed to providing a fully accessible website experience for all users of all abilities, including those who rely on assistive technologies such as screen readers, screen-enlargement software, and alternative keyboard input devices to navigate the web.

Ongoing efforts to ensure accessibility

We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 as our guiding principle for determining accessibility. These are internationally agreed standards covering a wide range of recommendations and best practices for making content usable. As we add new pages and functionality to our website, all designs, code, and content-entry practices are checked against these standards.

Website accessibility is an ongoing process. We continually test our content and features for WCAG 2.2 Level AA compliance and remediate any issues to meet or exceed the standards. Testing is carried out by our team using industry-standard methods, including automated site-wide scanning tools (such as Rocket Validator and the Accessibility Checker plugin), colour-contrast analysers, keyboard-only navigation, and Flesch–Kincaid readability tests.

Accessibility features on our website

The following is a list of features we have included to improve the accessibility of our website:

• Text alternatives (alt text) for images that convey meaning
• A clear, logical heading structure for easy navigation
• Sufficient colour contrast between text and its background
• Descriptive, meaningful link text
• Clearly labelled forms with accessible error messages
• A responsive layout that reflows and supports zooming up to 200%
• Semantic landmarks (header, navigation, main content, and footer) for screen-reader users
• Captions and/or transcripts for video and audio content
• Embedded videos that load only when requested

Where we’re improving

In our efforts to bring our website fully up to standard, we are currently working on the following areas:

• Full keyboard operability, with a visible focus indicator
• A “skip to content” link to bypass repeated navigation
• Ensuring all downloadable documents (such as PDFs) meet accessibility standards
• Reviewing and remediating older content published before our current standards were adopted

This is part of our broader effort to make everyone’s experience of the Tudor Trust a welcoming and enjoyable one. Please note that while we make every effort to provide information that is accessible to all users, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third-party websites to which we may link.
