Accessibility Statement

The Investing in Women Code (IWC) is committed to ensuring that our digital services are accessible to as many people as possible, regardless of technology or ability. We aim to provide an inclusive online experience that enables all users to access, understand, and interact with our content and services with ease.

We are continually improving the accessibility of our website and web application to meet recognised best practices and standards.

This website aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA, which defines best practice for ensuring websites are usable and understandable by everyone.

Key principles of these standards include:

• Content is perceivable, meaning all users can see or hear it.
• Interfaces are operable, meaning all functionality can be accessed via keyboard and assistive technologies.
• Information is understandable, with clear, concise content and consistent navigation.
• The website is robust, ensuring compatibility with modern browsers and assistive technologies.

To maintain accessibility across our platform:

• We use semantic HTML and consistent heading structures.
• All interactive elements (buttons, links, forms) are clearly labelled and operable by keyboard.
• We maintain sufficient colour contrast between text and background.
• Text can be resized up to 200% without loss of readability or functionality.
• We provide alternative text for all meaningful images and non-text content.
• Forms include clear instructions, field labels, and error messaging.
• Dynamic content is built to work with screen readers and assistive software.
• We regularly test the platform with automated tools (such as WAVE and Axe) and manual reviews.

If you experience any difficulty accessing content on this website, or if you would like to request information in an alternative format (for example, accessible PDF, large print, easy read, or audio recording), please contact us:

We aim to acknowledge all accessibility requests within five working days and to provide a response or alternative format within 15 working days.

If you are not satisfied with our response to your accessibility query, you may contact the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), which is responsible for enforcing the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
