Accessibility

Last updated: 16 October 2026. Next review: October 2027.

We want forensicsexology.org to be usable by as many people as possible. We aim for clear language, readable text and navigation that works across screen sizes and different ways of using the web.

Measures used on the website

The site uses sans-serif text, headings, labelled form fields and a navigation structure with routes for different audiences. The homepage layout and navigation have received checks at smaller widths. These measures help usability, but they do not establish that the whole website is accessible to every user. People have different reading and access preferences.

Current limitations and testing

The site has not received a complete independent accessibility audit, so we do not claim full conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. That standard is the target for further review and improvement.

Further testing is needed for keyboard navigation and visible focus, screen-reader use, colour contrast, zoom and reflow, image descriptions, heading order, and form instructions, validation and success messages. Linked documents, embedded services and third-party websites may have accessibility limitations; these need to be considered when recommending them.

Request help or report a barrier

Use the Contact page and mark your message “Website accessibility”. Tell us the page address, the difficulty, and the format or adjustment that would help. If useful, include your browser or assistive technology. You do not need to disclose a diagnosis or medical history.

Our service target is to acknowledge requests within five working days and discuss a practical response within 20 working days. Some changes may take longer; in that case we will explain the next steps. Reasonable requests may include a clearer text version, an alternative format or another way to provide information.

Reviewing progress

Record reported barriers and planned improvements, prioritising problems that prevent access to information or forms. Review this statement after material design changes and at least annually. If you are unhappy with the response, use the website complaints procedure.

This is an independently operated information website, not a public-sector accessibility statement. Relevant legal duties should be assessed for the services actually offered. Guidance on the target standard is available from W3C WCAG 2.2.
