Accessibility Statement for the Speak Out Space Website

This accessibility statement applies to the Speak Out Space website.

We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, you should be able to:

  • zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
  • listen to the website using a screen reader (such as JAWS, NVDA or VoiceOver)
  • adjust colours, contrast levels, and fonts using your browser or device settings
  • We’ve also made the text as clear and simple as possible to understand.

If you need advice on making your device easier to use, AbilityNet has helpful resources.

How accessible this website is

Every effort has been made to ensure this site is accessible. However, as a localised hub that relies on some resources provided by third parties, not all elements are going to meet every users need. For example:

  • Some linked documents (e.g. PDFs) may not be fully readable by screen readers

We are working to improve accessibility and welcome feedback to help us prioritise improvements.
