Our accessibility commitment, in plain English.

Accessibility.

Signal Daily is built to be readable by everyone. That includes keyboard-only visitors, screen-reader users, people with reduced motion settings, and anyone who just likes a bigger font. Here's the state of play and what we're working on.

What we commit to

We aim to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA across every page we publish. That's the bar UK public-sector sites are held to; we hold ourselves to the same bar voluntarily.

Specifically:

  • Every page works without a mouse.
  • Every image carries meaningful alt text (or an explicit alt="" when decorative).
  • Colour is never the only way information is conveyed.
  • The site respects prefers-reduced-motion and your browser's zoom settings.
  • Contrast meets or exceeds 4.5:1 for body text and 3:1 for large text.

Where we are today

  • ✓

    Keyboard navigation

    Every interactive element is reachable by Tab. Focus rings are visible. A "Skip to content" link appears on Tab from every page.

  • ✓

    Screen readers

    Semantic headings, labelled landmarks, accessible form fields, and ARIA roles where HTML semantics need a hand.

  • ✓

    Reduced motion

    All animations respect prefers-reduced-motion: reduce and collapse to instantaneous state changes.

  • !

    Video and audio content

    Rare on this site, but when we embed third-party video (YouTube, etc.) we rely on the provider's captions, which aren't always available. When we produce our own media, we caption it.

    Automated translations

    Non-English pages are machine-translated. Phrasing can be awkward; factual meaning is preserved. English is the canonical version — use the UK flag in the dateline to switch back.

How to report an issue

If something on this site is blocking you from reading it, tell us and we'll fix it. The fastest route is [email protected]. Include the page URL and what you tried to do — screenshots welcome.

We aim to respond within two working days and to fix confirmed blockers within two weeks. Complex issues get an interim workaround while we build a proper fix.
