Accessibility Statement
We want everyone to be able to use this site. Here is where we stand and how to tell us when something does not work.
In brief
The Atlantic Institute aims to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA across this site. This page states that commitment, lists the areas we know still fall short, and gives you a direct way to report a barrier and get help another way.
PLACEHOLDER — this page is unapproved boilerplate. It is here so the layout and the footer links are real. The Atlantic Institute’s counsel must replace every word below before launch.
Our commitment
The Atlantic Institute is committed to making this website usable by everyone, including people who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, magnification or speech input. We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA.
What we have done
The site is built to be navigable by keyboard alone, with visible focus on every interactive element. Images carry text alternatives, headings follow a logical order, colour is never the only way information is conveyed, and text meets the contrast ratios the guidelines require. The site reflows to a single column on small screens and can be zoomed to 200% without loss of content.
Where we fall short
Some material migrated from our previous website — in particular older documents and some archived event photographs — does not yet meet the same standard. We are working through this material, and we will provide any of it in an accessible format on request.
Third-party content
Some content on this site is provided by others, such as embedded video and our donation forms. We do not control how those services are built, but we choose accessible providers where we can and we will help you complete anything they make difficult.
Tell us about a barrier
If you cannot use part of this site, or you need information from it in another format, please contact us using the address, phone number or email address in the footer. Tell us the page and what happened, and we will respond and offer the information another way.
Formal complaints
If you are not satisfied with our response, you may escalate your concern to us in writing at our office address.
