We are taking a number of steps to improve the accessibility of our website and to maintain those improvements over time. We aim to provide meaningful alternative text for all images published on our website, so that users who cannot see images, including those using screen readers, can still understand the content and context those images are intended to convey.

​

We structure our content using clear and consistent heading hierarchies, which allows users who navigate by headings to move through our pages quickly and efficiently. This is a common and important practice for screen reader users. We strive to ensure that all content on our website is accessible using a keyboard alone, without requiring the use of a mouse or touchscreen. This is particularly important for users with motor impairments who rely on keyboard navigation or switch access devices.

​

We aim to maintain sufficient colour contrast between text and background throughout our website so that our content is readable by users with low vision or colour vision differences. We also avoid relying on colour alone to convey important information.

​

We design our website to be responsive and usable across a range of devices and screen sizes, including smartphones and tablets, recognising that many of our users, particularly parents on the go, access our content primarily on mobile devices.

​

We write our content in plain, clear English and aim to avoid unnecessarily complex language. As a platform serving multicultural and multilingual families, we understand that English may not be the first language of all our readers, and we try to communicate as clearly and simply as possible without losing accuracy or nuance.

​

We periodically review our website to identify accessibility issues and work to resolve them in a timely manner. Where third party tools or embedded content are used, we seek to select providers who share our commitment to accessibility standards.
