Our Commitment to Accessibility

Clays Lane Trust believes that everyone, regardless of physical or cognitive ability, should have equal access to web-based community resources. Our goal is to satisfy the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 at level AA.

Implemented Accessibility Features

To deliver an inclusive and high-contrast digital environment, we have built the following design patterns:

• Keyboard Skip-to-Content: A keyboard-accessible skip link (`Skip to main content`) is available at the very top of each page for tab navigation.
• Interactive Elements target size: All buttons, inputs, links, and triggers satisfy a minimum size of 44x44 pixels on touch devices to avoid misclicks.
• Color Contrast ratios: High-contrast color scales are maintained across text and interactive states, meeting a 4.5:1 minimum ratio.
• Screen Reader optimization: SVG graphics utilize `aria-hidden` attributes, buttons carry explicit `aria-label` definitions, and layout overlays implement `role="dialog"` modal focus trap patterns.
• Font scale resilience: Design layouts utilize fluid typography tokens (`rem`, `clamp`) that adapt smoothly to custom browser text scaling without overlapping layout blocks.

Known Accessibility Gaps

While we strive for total accessibility, some external integrations (like third-party maps, video players, or legacy documents) may have limitations beyond our internal software control. We continually audit these dependencies to improve layout compatibility.
