Accessibility statement

We write for readers who may find small text, fiddly buttons and jargon hard work. So we’ve tried to make this website easy for everyone to see, read and use, including people who use screen readers, magnifiers, voice control or a keyboard instead of a mouse.

The standard we aim for

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA, the internationally recognized standard.

What we’ve done

• Big, clear text. Body text starts at 20 pixels and uses Atkinson Hyperlegible, a typeface designed by the Braille Institute for readers with low vision.
• Text size buttons. Use the Text size buttons at the top of every page to make everything bigger. Your browser’s own zoom (Ctrl and + on a computer, or ⌘ and + on a Mac) also works, up to 400%, without text being cut off.
• Strong contrast. Text and buttons meet or exceed the WCAG contrast ratios.
• Keyboard friendly. Every link and button can be reached with the Tab key and shows a clear yellow-and-navy outline. A “Skip to main content” link appears first on every page.
• Big targets. Buttons and links are large and well spaced, so they’re easy to tap.
• Screen reader support. Pages use proper headings, landmarks and labels. Images have text descriptions, and decorative images are hidden from screen readers.
• No surprises. Nothing plays automatically, nothing flashes, and links open in the same window so the Back button always works.
• Reduced motion. If you’ve asked your device to reduce motion, we turn off smooth scrolling.
• Printable. Articles print cleanly, without menus, so you can keep a paper copy.
• Cookie notice in the page. Our cookie notice sits at the top of the page instead of floating over the content, so it never hides what you’re reading.

How we test

Before each update we check every page with automated accessibility tests (axe-core, for WCAG 2.2 A and AA), check the page structure and HTML, test with the keyboard only, and check the layout on a narrow phone screen and at large text sizes. Our last full check was on 25 September 2026.

Known limitations

• The free kit PDF is designed for printing. It may not work perfectly with every screen reader. If you need it in another format, such as a Word document or plain text, email us and we’ll send it.
• Other websites. When you follow a link to Amazon or another website, that website’s own accessibility applies.
