Accessibility statement

Last updated: 8 October 2026. This website is for older adults and the people who support them, so accessibility matters to us.

What we aim for

We are working towards WCAG 2.2 Level AA. We aim to provide:

Readable text with generous spacing and strong contrast.
Keyboard access, clear focus states, and labelled form controls.
Meaningful descriptions for informative images.
Plain, warm language without unnecessary jargon.
Motion that respects reduced-motion preferences.

Known limitations

Some embedded third-party content, including map controls, may not expose every control consistently to assistive technology. We are continuing to review the site at 200% zoom, with keyboard-only navigation, and with screen readers.
