Commitment
Accessibility
Access needs are ordinary. Roughly everyone has some version of them, and a room that only works for people who never mention theirs is a badly designed room.
This website
We aim to meet WCAG 2.2 AA. In practice that means:
- Every question has a real label, and grouped questions use grouped labels.
- The whole questionnaire works with a keyboard alone, with visible focus outlines.
- A skip link takes you straight to the main content.
- Progress and errors are announced to screen readers, not just shown in colour.
- Nothing relies on colour alone to carry meaning.
- Buttons and options are large enough to hit comfortably on a phone.
- Animation is minimal, and respects a reduced-motion preference.
- Your answers save as you go, so you can take as long as you like.
Access needs at the event
The questions ask whether anything would make taking part easier or harder for you — step-free access, quieter spaces, seating, lighting, scent, captions, interpretation, dietary needs, a bring-a-friend arrangement, or anything else.
What you tell us there goes to the event organiser so it can be arranged. It is never used to decide who you're introduced to, and it is never shown to other participants.
You can also ask to be contacted privately about it. If you do, your event organizer will reply to you directly rather than handling it in a general email.
Access needs in friendship
There's a separate question about what you need from people, rather than from a venue — plans that don't change last minute, replies that can be slow, no phone calls, a friend who doesn't mind cancellations. That part is about compatibility, and it is genuinely useful.
Something not working?
If any part of this site or event is difficult to use, please say so — it's a fault in the design, not in you. Mention it in the accessibility question, or reply to any email from us and it'll reach Laura.
