Moving Man Accessibility Statement
This accessibility statement explains how the Moving Man area is designed and maintained to be usable by as many people as possible, including disabled users and those using assistive technologies. We are committed to providing an inclusive digital environment and to continually improving accessibility.
Our Accessibility Commitment
The Moving Man area aims to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1, at the AA level. These guidelines define best practices for making web content more accessible to people with a wide range of needs, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological differences.
We work to ensure that the Moving Man area follows these principles: content should be perceivable, user interface elements and navigation should be operable, information and operation should be understandable, and the overall experience should be robust across different devices, browsers, and assistive tools.
Screen Reader Support
The Moving Man area is developed to be compatible with modern screen readers and other assistive technologies. Wherever possible, interactive elements, controls, and visual indicators are supported with accessible names, roles, and states so that they can be understood and operated using audio or braille output.
We aim to provide clear structure using headings, descriptive labels, and meaningful text for buttons and controls. Dynamic updates in the Moving Man area are designed to be announced appropriately by assistive technologies where relevant, helping users understand changes such as movement, position, and status without relying only on visual cues.
Keyboard Navigation
The Moving Man area is intended to be fully navigable using only a keyboard. Users should be able to reach all interactive controls, move through sections, start and pause actions, and adjust settings without using a mouse or touch input.
We aim to maintain a logical and predictable tab order, visible focus indicators, and keyboard-accessible alternatives for any pointer-based interactions. This includes providing keyboard support for starting and stopping the Moving Man, adjusting parameters, and resetting or replaying sequences where these functions are available.
Conformance with WCAG 2.1 AA
The Moving Man area is designed with reference to WCAG 2.1 AA success criteria. This includes considerations such as sufficient colour contrast, text alternatives for meaningful non-text content, avoidance of content that may trigger seizures, support for reflow on smaller screens, and controls that are large enough and spaced suitably for users with motor difficulties.
We also work to minimise reliance on time-limited interactions and aim to give users enough time to read and interact with content. Where movement, animation, or automatic updates are present, we aim to provide controls to pause, stop, or hide them when this is practical and does not compromise the core function of the Moving Man area.
Ongoing Improvements
Accessibility is an ongoing process. We regularly review the Moving Man area to address issues, respond to feedback, and apply updated accessibility practices. As technologies and standards evolve, we will continue to refine and upgrade the experience to better support all users.
