Accessibility Statement
Last Updated: January 17, 2025
Hyjywae is committed to ensuring that its website and digital services are accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. We
continuously work to improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards where applicable.
Our Commitment
We believe that access to education and information is a fundamental right. Hyjywae strives to make its platform usable by the widest possible
audience, regardless of technology, ability, or circumstance. This includes users who rely on assistive technologies such as screen readers,
keyboard navigation, voice recognition software, and other adaptive tools.
Conformance Status
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more
accessible to people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines helps make the web more user-friendly for all people.
We are partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Partial conformance means that some parts of the content may not fully meet all accessibility
criteria. We are actively working to identify and address these gaps.
Technical Specifications
Our website relies on the following technologies for conformance with the applied accessibility standards:
HTML — Semantic markup is used throughout to support assistive technologies and ensure logical document structure.
CSS — Visual presentation is separated from content structure. Styles are designed to support readability and sufficient colour
contrast.
JavaScript — Interactive components are built with keyboard accessibility and ARIA attributes where appropriate.
Known Limitations
Despite our efforts, some areas of the platform may not yet meet full accessibility requirements. Known limitations include:
Third-party content: Some embedded tools, videos, or interactive exercises provided by third-party vendors may not be fully
accessible. We are working with our partners to improve this where possible.
Legacy content: Older workshop materials or documents uploaded before our accessibility review may not fully conform. We are
reviewing and updating these on an ongoing basis.
Complex interactions: Certain interactive exercises and collaborative tools may present challenges for users relying solely on
keyboard navigation. We are prioritising improvements in this area.
Measures We Take
Design and Development Practices
We incorporate accessibility considerations throughout our design and development process. This includes using appropriate colour contrast ratios,
providing text alternatives for non-text content, ensuring keyboard operability for all interactive elements, and using clear and consistent
navigation patterns.
Testing
We conduct accessibility testing using a combination of automated tools and manual evaluation. Testing includes keyboard-only navigation checks,
screen reader compatibility assessments, and colour contrast verification.
Ongoing Improvement
Accessibility is treated as an ongoing process rather than a one-time task. We review and update our platform regularly, incorporating user
feedback and evolving best practices into our development cycle.
Assistive Technology Compatibility
Our platform is designed to be compatible with the following assistive technologies and environments:
Screen readers: We aim for compatibility with commonly used screen readers across major operating systems, including those used
on desktop and mobile devices.
Keyboard navigation: All core functionality is accessible via keyboard without requiring a mouse or pointer device.
Browser zoom: Content is designed to remain readable and functional when text is resized up to 200% using browser zoom settings.
High contrast modes: The platform is designed to remain usable when operating system or browser high contrast settings are
enabled.
Content Accessibility
Text and Language
All primary content is written in plain, clear English. We avoid unnecessarily complex language and structure content to support readability for
users with cognitive or learning differences.
Images and Media
Meaningful images include descriptive alternative text. Decorative images are marked appropriately to be ignored by assistive technologies. We
work to ensure that video content includes captions where available.
Forms and Interactive Elements
Form fields include descriptive labels. Error messages are written clearly and associated with the relevant input. Required fields are identified
in a manner that does not rely on colour alone.
Feedback and Contact
