Accessibility Statement

A cancer website that only some people can read is not doing its job.

What we aim for

WCAG 2.2 level AA. The site is built to be usable with a keyboard alone, with a screen reader, at large text sizes, and with animation switched off.

What is tested, and how

Every page is checked automatically before release for text contrast against the actual painted background, heading order, image alternatives, form labels, reference integrity and horizontal overflow at 390 pixels. Contrast is measured rather than assumed.

The current build passes on every page at both desktop and mobile widths.

What we know is imperfect

Some data tables are wide and scroll sideways on a small screen. Downloadable PDFs are not yet tagged for screen readers, and we will provide any guide as plain text on request.

Automated checking cannot tell you whether a page is understandable. If a page here is hard to follow, that is a fault worth reporting.

Tell us

Write to care@kpcirc.org or call [Reception number, to be confirmed]. Say which page and what happened. We treat an accessibility failure as a defect, not a feature request.

This is a draft. It describes how we actually work and is written against the Indian instruments that apply, but it has not yet been settled by a lawyer. Anything in square brackets is a value we are waiting on rather than one we have invented.
