Accessibility

Template. Update this statement to reflect your own testing and contact details.

Journalism only works if people can read it. We want every reader to be able to use Blakey, including people who rely on assistive technology.

What we do

• Aim to meet WCAG 2.2 level AA
• Use semantic HTML, a logical heading order, visible focus states, and a skip-to-content link
• Write alt text for every story image, and captions that say what a photo shows
• Mark up bylines, dates, and sections so screen readers announce them clearly
• Respect reduced-motion preferences
• Check color contrast against our design tokens, including text on photos and dark bands

Known limitations

Some embedded content, such as third-party forms, video, or social posts, may not fully meet these standards. We work with providers to improve it.

Feedback

If something on Blakey is hard to read or use, please tell us through the contact page. Include the page address and what happened, and we will respond as soon as we can.
