Accessability Policy

At The Foot Aftercare Institute, we are committed to ensuring that our website, digital resources, and online guides are accessible and usable for everyone, including individuals with disabilities. We believe all users should have equal access to clear, reliable aftercare information — regardless of ability, device, or assistive technology. Last reviewed: December 2025

​

1. Our Commitment to Accessibility

We aim to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards wherever reasonably possible.

Our goal is to provide an accessible, user-friendly experience by:

​

• Designing pages with a clear structure and readable text

​

• Using alt text for images and meaningful labels for interactive elements

​

• Maintaining consistent navigation and layout

​

• Ensuring content is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust

​

• Testing pages regularly for accessibility improvements

​

2. Steps We Take to Support Accessibility

To enhance accessibility, we:

​

• Implement keyboard-friendly navigation

​

• Use high-contrast colour combinations when appropriate.

​

• Provide descriptive headings and explicit language.

​

• Avoid flashing or disruptive animations.

​

• Use scalable text that can be enlarged without breaking the layout.

​

• Ensure downloadable resources are easy to read and accessible where possible

​

We continually review our tools and content to improve accessibility.

​

3. Supported Assistive Technologies

Our website is designed to work with common accessibility tools, including:

​

• Screen readers

​

• Screen magnifiers

​

• Voice-to-text tools

​

• Keyboard-only navigation

​

• Browser accessibility extensions

​

While compatibility may vary depending on device and browser, we aim to support a wide range of user needs.

​

4. Ongoing Improvements

Accessibility is an evolving practice.

We recognise that some areas of our website may need further enhancement.

We are committed to:

​

• Continuous testing and updates

​

• Reviewing feedback from users

​

• Making improvements as technology and standards change

​

If you encounter an accessibility barrier, we want to fix it.
