ACCESSIBILITY
Accessibility
AntiBullyingWeek.co.uk is being designed to be usable by as many people as possible.
Our target is to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA across the site. Accessibility is being considered as part of the design and build, rather than added afterwards.
What we are doing
We aim to make sure that:
- pages can be navigated using a keyboard
- headings and page structure are clear and consistent
- text has strong colour contrast
- text can be enlarged without losing content or function
- links and buttons have clear focus states
- images have useful alternative text where needed
- videos include captions or transcripts where appropriate
- downloadable resources are created with accessibility in mind
- the site works across desktop, tablet and mobile
- animation and movement can be reduced where appropriate
- interactive features have accessible alternatives
For example, the Definition Wheel will also offer non-animated ways to browse the definitions, and the International Globe should not be the only route to the International material.
Fonts and readability
The site uses clear, readable typefaces and avoids relying on decorative text for important information.
The site currently uses a clear sans-serif font stack based on Arial and Helvetica for its main typography. Decorative or image-based text should never carry essential information on its own.
If something does not work for you
Accessibility can still fail in ways we have not anticipated.
If you find something difficult to use, cannot access a resource, or think we could make something clearer or easier to navigate, please tell us.

We will review accessibility issues and make reasonable improvements where we can.
