Governance

Accessibility

We want Word Fest information and programmes to be understandable and usable by as many people as possible.

Website approach

The rebuilt site uses semantic headings, clear labels, keyboard-accessible links and forms, visible focus states, readable contrast and responsive layouts.

Frank's Board

Simplicity and accessible information are formal design considerations. The recipient-facing display is deliberately separated from the more complex management interface.

Formats and support

If a resource or page creates a barrier, contact hello@word-fest.com and tell us what you were trying to access. We will consider a reasonable alternative where possible.

Continuous improvement

Accessibility is not treated as a one-off claim. It should be tested, reviewed and improved as programmes and evidence develop.
