Accessibility

Accessibility at HTT

Technology should work for everyone. That's not just something we say. It's built into everything we do, starting with this website.

Inclusive by design

Our commitment

We believe that everyone deserves access to technology, regardless of age, disability, experience level or confidence. Accessibility isn't an afterthought for us. It's a core part of how we build and how we teach.

This website is built to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA (the international standard for accessible websites). That means it's designed to be usable by people with visual, motor, hearing and cognitive differences. We test regularly and welcome feedback on anything we can improve.

Features

What we've built into this site

Try the accessibility widget in the bottom-right corner of every page. It includes:

  • Text size controls

    Three size options (standard, large, extra large) that persist across pages.

  • Reduce animations

    Turns off all motion and transitions. Automatically respects your operating system's reduced motion preference.

  • High contrast mode

    Increases contrast across the entire site for better readability.

  • Read aloud

    Uses your browser's built-in speech synthesis to read page content aloud in a natural British English voice.

  • Skip to content link

    A hidden link at the top of every page that lets keyboard users jump straight to the main content.

  • Keyboard navigation

    Every interactive element on this site is fully accessible via keyboard. No mouse required.

Technical details

Standards we follow

  • Properly structured code

    We use correct heading order, page regions, and screen reader labels so assistive tools can read the site properly.

  • Colour contrast

    All text meets accessibility contrast standards against its background.

  • Alt text on images

    Every meaningful image has a written description for screen readers.

  • Focus indicators

    Visible focus rings on all interactive elements for keyboard users.

  • Responsive design

    The site works on any screen size, from mobile phones to large desktop monitors.

  • Reduced motion support

    All animations respect your device's animation settings. If you've asked your device to reduce motion, this site will too.

Transparency

Known limitations

We're committed to accessibility, but we know there's always room to improve. Current known limitations:

  • The read-aloud feature depends on your browser's speech synthesis capabilities, which vary by browser and device.
  • Some embedded third-party content (such as Google Reviews) may not meet the same accessibility standards as the rest of the site.
  • PDF documents linked from this site may not be fully accessible. We're working on this.

If you encounter any barrier to using this website, please let us know. We take all accessibility feedback seriously and will work to address issues promptly.
