Accessibility Statement

Our commitment

This site aims to be usable by as many people as possible, including people who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, magnification or voice control.

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA. We are not claiming perfection - we are telling you what we aim for and how to tell us when we fall short.

What we have done

• Colour contrast - text is checked against its background to meet AA contrast ratios.
• Keyboard navigation - every link, button and menu can be reached and operated without a mouse, with a visible focus outline.
• Semantic structure - headings in order, landmarks, and labelled navigation so screen readers can move through pages sensibly.
• Meaningful alternatives - images that carry meaning have alt text; decorative images are marked so screen readers skip them.
• Reduced motion - animations are disabled automatically if your system asks for reduced motion.
• Responsive text - pages reflow and remain readable when zoomed or on small screens.

How we check

This statement is based on our own assessment of the site rather than an external audit. We use automated checks alongside manual testing — navigating pages by keyboard alone, reading them with a screen reader, and viewing them at 200% zoom and on a phone — and we re-check pages when their content, layout or imagery changes.

The most recent review of this website was carried out in October 2026.

Known limitations

Being honest is more useful than claiming full compliance:

• Some third-party content we embed is outside our direct control, and its accessibility depends on the provider.
• Older documents published before this statement may not meet the same standard.
• We have tested with automated tools and manual keyboard and screen-reader checks, but not with every assistive technology in every combination.

Using this site

A few things that may help:

• Text size — use your browser’s zoom (Ctrl and + on Windows, Cmd and + on a Mac) up to 200%. The layout reflows rather than clipping.
• Keyboard — press Tab to move forward through links and controls, Shift and Tab to move back, and Enter or Space to activate.
• Cookies — the cookie banner and the Cookie Settings link in the footer can be operated by keyboard, and declining non-essential cookies does not affect how the site works for you.
• Contact — if you would rather not use the enquiry form, you can email Vida directly using the address in the Contact section below.

Legal position

The European Accessibility Act has applied since 28 June 2025. It sets accessibility requirements for certain digital products and services, with a threshold that generally exempts microenterprises - organisations with fewer than 10 staff and turnover or balance sheet under 2 million euro.

We publish this statement as good practice rather than because we are asserting a particular classification. Our aim is that the standard is met regardless of whether we are obliged to meet it.

Tell us about a barrier

If you cannot use part of this site, please tell us. Say what you were trying to do, which page you were on, and what assistive technology you use if you are comfortable sharing that.

Email [email protected] or use the enquiry form on the Contact page. We aim to reply within five working days and to tell you honestly whether and when we can fix it.

If you need information from this site in another format, ask and we will provide it.

If we do not get it right

If our reply does not resolve the problem, say so and ask for it to be looked at again — your message reaches a person, not a ticket queue. We would rather hear that we have missed something twice than not at all.

We review this statement whenever the site changes significantly, and at least once a year.
