Accessibility statement

The SLADS Research Hub aims to be usable by everyone, including people who rely on assistive technology. We are working towards conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA.

What we have done

• Semantic HTML and ARIA on interactive components (menus, dialogs, tabs, form controls).
• Keyboard operability for navigation, search, filters and dialogs.
• Visible focus styles and a logical focus order.
• Respect for your operating-system preferences for colour scheme and reduced motion.
• Text alternatives for images and icon-only controls.
• Responsive layouts that reflow to 320 px without loss of content.

Known limitations

• A full independent WCAG 2.1 AA audit has not yet been completed.
• Some data-dense administrative screens use small text and could be improved.
• PDF and Word documents deposited by authors are outside our control and may not be fully accessible. Contact us if you need an accessible version of a specific item.

Your settings

Language can be changed from the header. Colour scheme (light / dark) follows your device and can be toggled in the signed-in areas. These preferences are stored locally in your browser under the "Functional" cookie category — see the privacy policy and Cookie settings in the footer.

Feedback

If you encounter an accessibility barrier, tell us via the feedback form (choose the "Accessibility" category) or the support page. We aim to respond within five working days.
