Accessibility statement

Our standard

This website is built to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 at level AA. That means, among other things, that you should be able to:

• read every page with text and background colours that meet the AA contrast minimum
• move through every page, menu, form and control with a keyboard alone, with a visible focus indicator
• zoom to 200 percent, or use a narrow screen, without content being cut off or the page scrolling sideways
• use a screen reader and hear the structure of each page, the purpose of each control, and the state of each menu and panel
• turn off movement: if your device asks for reduced motion, the site's animations and background video stay still

What we check

Before a change goes live we run automated checks on every page at desktop and phone widths, covering colour contrast measured on the rendered page, horizontal overflow, heading structure, form labels, and keyboard operation of menus, the cookie banner and expanding panels. The cookie banner can be dismissed with the Escape key, which rejects rather than accepts.

What we know is not perfect

• Pages open with a short background video. It is decorative and silent, with no information in it, so it has no captions or audio description. It does not play if your device asks for reduced motion.
• Some diagrams convey their meaning visually. Each has a text description for screen readers, and the surrounding copy makes the same point in words, but the two are not always identical.
• Content we link to on other sites, including LinkedIn and the sources we cite, is outside our control.

Tell us

If any part of this site does not work for you, or you need something from it in another format, such as a document in large print or plain text, email info@ionyze.co.uk. Tell us the page, what you were trying to do, and the equipment or software you were using, and we will come back to you within five working days.

If you are not satisfied

We would rather fix it than argue about it. If you have told us about a problem and are not happy with our response, the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS) can advise you on your rights under the Equality Act 2010, at equalityadvisoryservice.com.
