Accessibility Statement

Last updated: 2026-08-01

Healing Space UK is designed to be usable across modern browsers and mobile/desktop form factors, with active work toward stronger accessibility assurance.

Current position

  • Keyboard navigation and semantic landmarks are used in core public pages.
  • Responsive layouts support small and large screens.
  • Accessibility improvements are included in ongoing remediation work.

Automated testing

Every build of the application runs an automated axe-core accessibility scan against its core public pages (home, sign-in, privacy, terms, this statement, and cookies), which are the pages this website is built from, checked against WCAG 2.1 A and AA rules. A build fails if a new critical or serious issue is introduced. Page zoom is verified too, so text can be resized on mobile.

Automated tools reliably detect only a minority of accessibility barriers. A passing scan is a regression safety net, not a statement of conformance.

Known gaps

Independent WCAG conformance auditing is a roadmap item and has not yet been completed. We do not claim independent conformance before evidence exists. Manual keyboard and screen-reader testing across the full application is also still outstanding.

Reporting barriers

If you encounter an accessibility barrier, email cs@healing-space.org.uk and include details of device, browser, and the action you were trying to complete.
