Our Commitment to Digital Accessibility
At The Social Institute, we believe that access to information and technology is a fundamental right. Our mission is to create a digital environment that is accessible and usable for everyone, regardless of their abilities or the assistive technologies they use. We are deeply committed to fostering an inclusive online experience where all users can access our content, products, and services.
We strive to adhere to the highest standards of digital accessibility, primarily guided by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. This commitment is integrated into our development processes, design principles, and content creation workflows. We continually work to:
- Design for Inclusivity: Build and maintain our digital platforms with accessibility in mind from the very beginning, ensuring that design choices support diverse user needs.
- Provide Perceivable Information: Ensure all content is perceivable, offering alternatives for non-text content and clear, sufficient contrast.
- Ensure Operable Interfaces: Make sure all functionality is operable via various input methods, including keyboard navigation, and that users have enough time to interact with content.
- Create Understandable Content: Present information in a clear and predictable manner, making it easier for all users to comprehend and navigate.
- Maintain Robust Technology: Develop our digital assets using robust code that is compatible with current and future assistive technologies.
We view accessibility as an ongoing journey. We are dedicated to continuous improvement, regularly auditing our digital properties, and actively seeking feedback from our users to identify and address accessibility barriers. Our goal is to ensure that everyone can fully participate in and benefit from our offerings.
