Accessibility Statement
Proud and Diverse Cumbria wants everyone to be able to use Proud and Diverse Cumbria, whatever device they use and however they read, hear or move around a website. This statement explains how accessible the site is, what we are still working on, and how to get help.
Our commitment
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. That covers things like text that can be read against its background, a site that works with a keyboard alone, images that are described for screen readers, and pages that still work when text is enlarged. The site was built and is maintained by Technophobia Ltd.
The law
This is a voluntary statement. We publish it because we want to, not because a regulation requires it.
- Under the Equality Act 2010, businesses that provide services to the public in the UK must make reasonable adjustments so that disabled people are not put at a disadvantage. If something on this site stops you using it, tell us and we will help another way.
How accessible this site is
We tested this site on 20 October 2026 with automated checks (Technophobia Site Check, which uses the axe accessibility engine, and WAVE) and checked keyboard use and colour contrast by hand. Most of the site meets WCAG 2.2 AA. The parts that do not are listed below.
Known issues
- Some image descriptions repeat nearby text. Screen readers may read the same thing twice. We aim to fix this by 30 November 2026.
Reporting a problem or asking for another format
If you have difficulty using any part of this site, or you need information in a different format such as large print, an audio recording or plain text, please contact us:
- Email: access@technophobia.uk
Tell us the web address of the page, what the problem is, and how you would like us to help. We aim to reply within 5 working days.
About this statement
This statement was prepared on 20 October 2026, when the site was last tested. It will be reviewed again by October 2027, or sooner if the site changes significantly.
