Accessibility Statement

Our commitment to accessibility

Legally Empowered is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards to our work.

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities.

Conformance status

This website is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Partial conformance means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard, and we are actively working to address these.

We have made the following accessibility improvements across all pages of this website:

• Skip navigation links to allow keyboard users to bypass repeated content
• All decorative images and SVGs are hidden from assistive technologies
• All meaningful images include descriptive alternative text
• Navigation menus include ARIA labels and expanded state indicators
• Page landmarks including main, nav and footer are used throughout
• Heading hierarchy is maintained logically across all pages
• Colour contrast meets or exceeds the minimum 4.5:1 ratio for normal text
• All interactive elements are keyboard accessible
• The language of each page is programmatically identified
• Links that open in a new tab include visible or screen reader notification

Known limitations

While we strive for full accessibility, we are aware of the following limitations that we are working to resolve:

• Third-party content: Some embedded third-party tools or content may not fully meet accessibility standards. We are working with our providers to address this.
• PDF documents: Some older PDF documents may not be fully accessible. We are working to remediate these or provide accessible alternatives.
• Complex data tables: Some tables may not have full header associations. We are in the process of updating these.
