Accessibility Statement

Becky’s Button wants its website and digital information to be usable by as many people as reasonably possible, including disabled people, people using assistive technology, people with temporary or situational impairments, and people accessing the site on different devices or connection conditions.

We aim to design and maintain beckysbutton.org in line with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA as our technical accessibility target, while recognising that accessibility also requires clear content, usable processes, reasonable adjustments and ongoing testing.

In Great Britain, service providers have duties under the Equality Act 2010, including duties relating to disability discrimination and reasonable adjustments. In Northern Ireland, disability-access duties arise under the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 as amended and related Northern Ireland legislation.

WCAG 2.2 is an internationally recognised accessibility standard and was approved in October 2025 as ISO/IEC 40500:2025.

• Keyboard-accessible navigation and interactive controls.
• Visible focus indicators for keyboard users.
• Semantic heading structures and a single primary page heading where designed.
• Form labels and accessible names for key form controls.
• Cookie controls designed for keyboard operation, with modal focus handling and an accessible preference centre.
• Support for reduced-motion preferences in animated/reveal components.
• Responsive layouts designed for mobile, tablet and desktop.
• Alternative text fields for editorial/newsletter imagery and content-management workflows.
• Colour/contrast rules designed to avoid known low-contrast combinations such as small white text on Becky’s Button yellow.

We are working towards WCAG 2.2 Level AA and continue to test and improve the site.

We know that some parts of the website may not yet be fully accessible. These may include:

• third-party donation checkout content or controls that are outside Becky’s Button’s direct technical control;
• historic documents, PDFs, images or video content that may require remediation, captions, transcripts or alternative formats;
• interactive maps and complex visualisations (where these are used, we aim to provide the same information as text or a list, with keyboard and reduced-motion support);
• third-party social-media embeds or services; and
• any content added later through the staff dashboard that lacks suitable alternative text, structure or accessible link wording.

Some journeys may continue on third-party services, such as an external donation provider or social platform. Becky’s Button will seek to choose and configure accessible services where reasonably possible, but it may not control every part of a third party’s interface. If a third-party service creates a barrier, please contact us and we will consider an accessible alternative or reasonable adjustment where possible.

If you cannot access part of the website, need information in a different format, or need a reasonable adjustment to interact with Becky’s Button online, please contact us. Helpful information includes the page or service you were using, the barrier you encountered, the format or adjustment you need, and your preferred way for us to respond.

Examples may include a plain-text version, accessible document, transcript/caption request, alternative way to provide information, or assistance completing a digital process.

We will consider requests individually and aim to provide a reasonable accessible alternative where possible.

If you report an accessibility problem, Becky’s Button will aim to investigate the issue, identify whether a reasonable fix or workaround is available, and prioritise barriers that prevent access to important information or services. Accessibility feedback may be used to improve future design and content standards.

We test the website using a combination of automated checks and manual testing, including keyboard-only use, focus order, form errors, zoom and reflow, reduced motion, colour contrast, screen-reader spot checks, alternative text and key journeys such as newsletter sign-up, donations, contact forms, navigation and cookie settings.

We will review this statement whenever we make a major redesign, platform change or significant new interactive feature, and at regular intervals even where no major change occurs.
