Accessibility Statement
Version 2, in use since Tuesday, October 27, 2026.
This statement makes no claim that the site conforms to a standard. It says what we aim for, what has been tested, and how to report a problem. We bring "What we have tested" up to date with each release.
Our aim
We want everyone to be able to use this site, including people who use a keyboard only, a screen reader, large text, or reduced motion.
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, version 2.2, at level AA.
What we do
- Every page can be used with a keyboard, and the place you are at is always marked.
- A link at the top of each page takes you past the header to the main content.
- Text has strong contrast against its background.
- Nothing flashes, and nothing moves for more than a moment. Movement plays once, and you can turn it off with the "Reduce motion" switch at the foot of every page. We also follow your device's own setting.
- You sign in with a link or a code sent to your email address. There is nothing to memorise and no puzzle to solve.
- The schedule is shown as a list, which works with screen readers and on phones. You can also add the sessions to your own calendar.
- Forms have visible labels, say in words what went wrong beside the field concerned, and keep what you typed.
- Arabic words are marked as Arabic, so that screen readers pronounce them correctly, and names and notes typed in any language are shown in their own direction.
- Receipts and certificates print, or can be saved as a PDF from your browser.
- A picture or a flyer opens full size on the page itself; Escape closes it and returns you where you were.
- Every picture says in words what it shows. A video never plays by itself, and a video with speech carries captions.
What we have tested
| Test | Last done | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Automated scan (axe) of every page, at desktop and phone sizes, on every change | 25 October 2026 | No problems found |
| The registration path, the family area and the newsletter sign-up with a keyboard only | 7 October 2026 | Usable. One problem found and fixed on 1 October: a heading was missing before each of the two forms of registering |
| The registration path and the family area as a screen reader reads them (the accessibility tree) | 1 October 2026 | Usable after the same fix |
| Every page with a screen reader used by a person, on a computer and on a phone | Not yet done | Planned with VoiceOver on a phone |
| Pages at a width of 300 pixels, narrower than the 320 pixels the guidelines ask for | 25 October 2026 | No sideways scrolling on the pages tested |
| Every page with reduced motion switched on | 1 October 2026 | Nothing moves |
| The site on a phone with a slow connection (a mid-range phone profile) | 1 October 2026 | The main content of every page appears in under two seconds on a first visit; nothing shifts as the page loads |
An automated scan finds only some problems. That is why we also test by hand.
What we know does not work well yet
In the staff console, drawing a signature with a finger, a pen or the mouse cannot be done with a keyboard. Staff can give a picture of their signature instead.

If any part of this site is hard for you to use, please tell us. Write to hello@ilmbridges.com. Tell us the page and what happened.
We answer within 5 days. If you need a form or a notice in another format, ask and we will provide it.

You can register without the site. Write to enroll@ilmbridges.com, or ask our staff in person for a paper form. A member of staff then enters the registration for you, and records how you agreed to each notice.
