Inclusive Access
Accessibility
We want public pages, submission workflows, and editorial tools to be usable by as many people as possible, including visitors using assistive technologies and alternative input methods.
Accessibility commitment
We aim to build interfaces that are readable, keyboard-usable, semantically structured, and resilient across modern browsers and common assistive technologies. Accessibility is treated as an ongoing quality practice, not a one-time checkbox.
Design principles
- Clear heading structure and consistent navigation patterns.
- Sufficient contrast, readable spacing, and predictable interaction states.
- Support for keyboard navigation across primary workflows.
- Meaningful labels and accessible text alternatives wherever feasible.
Compatibility and assistive use
The platform is intended to work with modern browsers, built-in zoom and text resizing, keyboard navigation, and commonly used screen-reader workflows. Actual experience may vary by page complexity and browser or device combinations.
Known limitations
Legacy content, uploaded files, third-party embeds, and older templates may not always meet the same accessibility standard as newer page layouts. We prioritise improvements where barriers materially affect reading, submission, or editorial participation.
Feedback and reporting
If you encounter an accessibility issue, please contact the platform team with the page URL, your device or browser details, and a short description of the barrier. This helps us prioritise and reproduce the issue accurately.
