Accessibility
What we do so that this website works for everyone, and how to tell us about a problem.
Last updated: 19 October 2026
We want breaknixup.org to work for every visitor, including people who use a screen reader, a keyboard or a magnifier. This statement explains what breaknixup has done, which gaps remain and how to report a barrier.
1. Our approach
We regard accessible pages as ordinary maintenance work at breaknixup rather than an additional feature. Every new page and every change to the design is checked to make sure the text remains readable, the navigation remains usable without a mouse and no information is carried by colour alone. The statement applies to breaknixup.org only.
2. What we do
Pages use semantic HTML: headings follow one order, lists are marked up as lists, and link texts stay meaningful out of context. Navigation and main content form separate regions, and the language of each page is declared for screen readers. Images that carry information have alternative texts, decorative ones are marked as such.
Text, links and buttons are shown with a contrast of at least 4.5 to 1 against their background. Sizes are set in relative units, so text can be enlarged in the browser without content being cut off, and links, menus and form fields can be used with the keyboard alone.
3. Conformance
Our target is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA. We describe the site as partially conformant, because some pages or elements still fall short of individual success criteria. Pages are reviewed regularly and problems are corrected as they are found; until then the same information is offered in another form.
4. Known limitations
Some pictures are general illustrations with a short alternative text rather than a full description.
5. Feedback
If you encounter a barrier on this website, or cannot obtain information that you require, please inform us by email at hello@breaknixup.org or by telephone on 01722 410286. It helps if you identify the page, describe what happened and mention the browser or assistive technology you were using. We aim to respond within five working days.
6. Preparation and review
The present statement is dated 19 October 2026 and rests on a self-assessment carried out by breaknixup, not on an external audit. We examined the navigation, the contact form and the main page types ourselves, using a keyboard, browser zoom and a screen reader. We review the text once a year and whenever the website is rebuilt.
