Accessibility Statement

This information was last updated on 1 September 2025.
 

We are Speak Out Advocacy.


We want to make our website – www.speakoutadvocacy.org – easier for people with disabilities to use.

What is website accessibility?

An accessible website is easy for everyone to use – including people with disabilities.

It means people with disabilities can use the website just as easily and happily as everyone else.

This can be done by:

  • making sure the website works well on different devices (like phones or computers)

  • using special tools called assistive technologies (like screen readers)

We are making our website more accessible

We have made changes to this website to follow the WCAG 2.2 guidelines.
 

We have made the website accessible to Level AA.
 

This means:

  • The website works with assistive technologies, like screen readers and keyboards.

 

We have also done other things to help make the website easier for everyone to use:

  • We used a tool called the Accessibility Wizard to help us find and fix problems.

  • We set the language of the website, so screen readers can read it properly.

  • We made sure the order of the content on each page makes sense.

  • We added clear headings on every page to help people find information quickly.

  • We added alt text (short descriptions) to images, so people using screen readers know what the pictures show.

  • We used colours that are easy to see and meet the rules for good contrast.

  • We reduced moving parts (like animations), so they don’t make people feel unwell or distracted.

  • We made sure all videos, audio, and documents on the site can be used by everyone.

Some pages on our website include content from other organisations (not from Speak Out Advocacy).

Because we do not control this content, those pages might not follow all accessibility rules.

So, we say that these parts of the website only partly follow the accessibility standards.
