Accessibility statement
The aim is for deliriumtools.com to be usable with a keyboard, zoom, reflow, high-contrast modes and common assistive technology. This is a statement of work and known limitations, not a claim of formal WCAG certification.
Last reviewed 19 July 2026.
Measures included
- A skip link, semantic headings, labelled navigation and descriptive page titles.
- Visible keyboard focus and keyboard-operable menus, filters, comparison dialog and timeline controls.
- Responsive layouts intended to reflow at narrow widths and at enlarged text sizes.
- Text alternatives for meaningful images and no reliance on colour alone for evidence or catalogue status.
- Reduced-motion, forced-colour and print styles.
- Accessible status messages for directory and timeline result counts.
- Scrollable wide tables with a labelled keyboard-focusable region.
Testing completed
The release process includes automated checks for headings, unique identifiers, internal links, control labels, colour contrast, responsive rules and directory interactions. Curator checks cover keyboard navigation, 200% zoom/reflow and representative desktop and mobile routes. These checks reduce risk but do not establish full conformance.
Known limitations
- A complete independent audit against WCAG 2.2 AA has not yet been commissioned.
- Real-user testing with people who use screen readers, voice input, switch devices or screen magnification is still required.
- Some evidence tables need horizontal scrolling on small screens.
- Linked third-party articles, forms and websites are outside this site’s control and may have different accessibility standards.
- Clinical instrument forms may be PDFs or protected resources whose accessibility and format cannot be altered here.
