Our commitment
We want everyone to be able to find out about our work, register for our events and get in touch, whatever device they use and however they use it. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA, the standard most widely used around the world.
What we have done
- A “Skip to content” link at the top of every page, so keyboard and screen reader users can go straight to the main content.
- Every page can be used with a keyboard alone, with a visible focus outline.
- Headings, landmarks and labels are set up so screen readers can describe the page and its forms.
- Text and background colours are chosen for readable contrast, and text can be enlarged to 200% without losing content.
- Images that carry meaning have text descriptions, and illustrative photographs are labelled as such.
- Animations are reduced when your device is set to reduce motion.
- Forms explain what is required, show errors in words rather than colour alone and do not time out.
- Pages work on phones and tablets as well as computers.
What we know still needs work
- Some downloadable documents, such as PDFs, may not be fully accessible to screen readers. If you need any document in another format, email info@thegatheringandco.online and we will send it.
- Videos we publish may not yet have captions or transcripts. We are adding them as we go.
- Some content we link to, such as booking calendars and partner websites, is run by other organisations and may not meet the same standard.
At our events
If you are coming to one of our events and need an adjustment, such as step-free access, seating, a sign language interpreter or materials in advance, tell us when you register or email info@thegatheringandco.online. We will do what we can and let you know in advance what is in place.
Tell us about a problem
If something on this website does not work for you, please email info@thegatheringandco.online with the page address and a short description of the problem. Tell us what device, browser and any assistive technology you were using if you can. We aim to reply within five working days and, where we can, to provide the information you needed another way in the meantime.
How we check
We test pages with automated checks and by hand, using a keyboard and a screen reader, when we make significant changes. We will review this statement at least once a year. See also our privacy notice and website terms.
