Accessibility Statement

Eileen Haywood — Author https://www.eileenhaywood.com

Last updated: 28 June 2026

We want everyone to be able to use and enjoy our website, regardless of ability or the technology they use. This statement explains our commitment to accessibility, the steps we take to support it, and how you can let us know if something isn't working for you.

1. Our Commitment

We are committed to making our website accessible to as many people as possible, including those who use assistive technologies such as screen readers, screen magnifiers, or speech recognition software, or who navigate using a keyboard rather than a mouse.

Accessibility is an ongoing effort rather than a one-off task, and we work to improve the experience as the website develops.

2. Standards We Aim For

We aim to meet the internationally recognised Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA, which is the standard widely used to measure website accessibility.

This statement is also made in the spirit of the Equality Act 2010, under which we seek to make reasonable adjustments so that disabled visitors are not placed at a disadvantage when using our website.

3. What We Do to Support Accessibility

Our website is built on the Wix platform, which provides a range of built-in accessibility features. In creating and maintaining the site, we aim to:

  • Use clear, readable text and a logical page structure with headings.

  • Provide descriptive text (alt text) for meaningful images.

  • Use sufficient colour contrast between text and background.

  • Write descriptive, meaningful links rather than vague text such as "click here."

  • Support navigation using a keyboard as well as a mouse.

  • Keep layouts consistent and content written in plain, straightforward language.

4. Known Limitations

While we work to keep the website accessible, some areas may not yet be fully optimised. For example:

  • Some third-party content or embedded features may not meet the same accessibility standards, as they are not fully within our control.

  • Certain older content may not yet have been reviewed against current guidelines.

We are aware that no website is ever perfectly accessible to everyone, and we welcome feedback that helps us identify and fix problems.

5. Compatibility

Our website is designed to work with current versions of the major web browsers (such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge) and with commonly used assistive technologies. We recommend keeping your browser and any assistive software up to date for the best experience.

6. Giving Us Feedback

If you experience any difficulty using our website, or you find content that is not accessible to you, please let us know. Your feedback helps us improve, and we will do our best to provide the information or assistance you need in a way that works for you. Please get in touch via our contact form if you wish to provide any feedback.

When you contact us, it helps if you can describe the problem, the page or content involved, and the device, browser, or assistive technology you were using. We aim to respond within a reasonable time.

7. Further Support

If you are not satisfied with how we have responded, the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS) provides free advice to people in England, Scotland, and Wales on issues relating to the Equality Act 2010.

8. Changes to This Statement

We keep this Accessibility Statement under regular review and will update it as the website develops and improves. This statement was last updated on 28 June 2026.
