Accessibility Statement for Hidden Injustice CIC
Hidden Injustice CIC is committed to ensuring that our website and digital tools are accessible to all people — including those with disabilities, limited digital access, or trauma-related barriers.
We believe that access to justice begins with access to information.
1. Our Commitment
We aim to meet or exceed the standards of:
- WCAG 2.1 AA (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines)
- UK public sector and equality accessibility expectations
- Trauma-informed best practice for vulnerable users
We recognise that many people who visit our website may be in distress, under pressure, or facing multiple barriers. Our goal is to make every page clear, calm, usable and safe.
2. Measures We Have Implemented
We have designed our site with accessibility in mind. Key measures include:
- High-contrast colour schemes (black/white and clear text)
- Large readable fonts and mobile-friendly layouts
- Clear headings, spacing, and section structure
- Keyboard-friendly navigation (where supported)
- Consistent menus and page layout across the site
- Simple language and short, clear paragraphs
- Accessible call-to-action buttons (large, clear, easy to tap)
- Alt-text support for key images (where relevant)
3. Traumatic Stress & Emotional Safety
Many of our visitors may be survivors of trauma, abuse, exploitation or institutional harm. We understand that distress can reduce concentration, decision-making ability and confidence.
For that reason, we design our pages to:
- avoid aggressive or triggering presentation
- use calm and empowering language
- provide clear steps and options
- reduce confusion and overwhelm
- allow users to exit or pause at any time
You are not alone. You do not have to do everything at once.
4. Compatibility
We aim for compatibility with:
- screen readers and assistive technologies
- text enlargement and zoom settings
- voice navigation tools (where supported by device)
- high contrast accessibility settings
- major mobile and desktop browsers
