This accessibility statement applies to the EyUp Charity website.
We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. This means you should be able to:
- Change colours, contrast levels and fonts using browser functionality
- Zoom in up to 400 per cent without the text spilling off the screen
- Navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
- Navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
- Interact with most of the website using a screen reader (including recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)
- We also try to use text that people can understand easily, we aim for the reading age of a 12 year old
Sometimes there are technical terms used in the text on the site, we use this when there is no easier wording, we can use without changing what the text means
