Accessibility Statement

Negotiating Bodies is committed to making our website accessible to as many people as possible. 

We believe accessibility should not be an afterthought but an integral part of our values, practice and decision making process.  Particularly as a research collective working with and alongside disabled people and marginalised communities we understand the importance that our website reflects our mission.

This website aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, level AA, which are the recognised international standard for digital accessibility under EU regulations.

Measures to support accessibility

We take the following measures to support the accessibility of this website:

• Using clear, structured headings and logical page layouts

• Designing content to be readable and navigable using assistive technologies

• Ensuring sufficient colour contrast for text and interactive elements

• Providing alternative text for meaningful images

• Using plain, inclusive language where possible

• Designing pages to be usable with keyboard navigation

• Reviewing accessibility as part of ongoing updates and development
  
  

Our approach reflects our broader commitment to participatory, ethical, and inclusive practice.

Conformance status

This website is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA.
“Partially conformant” means that some parts of the content may not yet fully meet the accessibility standard.

Known accessibility limitations

We are aware of the following potential limitations:

• Some third-party tools or embedded content (such as Google Sites features) may not fully meet accessibility standards

• Older content or images may not yet have complete alternative text

• Layout or formatting issues may occur on some screen readers or devices
  
  

We are actively working to identify and reduce these barriers as part of an ongoing process.

Ongoing commitment

Accessibility needs are diverse, contextual, and evolving. As a collective focused on disability and intersectionality, we recognise that no single solution works for everyone. We are committed to listening, learning, and adapting our digital spaces in response to feedback and lived experience.

Feedback and contact information

If you encounter any barriers when using this website, or if you require information in an alternative format, we welcome you to contact us.
