The IIA website is designed to be compatible with the following assistive technologies:

• Screen readers — including NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver (macOS and iOS), and TalkBack (Android);

• Screen magnification software — including ZoomText and built-in OS magnification tools;

• Speech recognition software — including Dragon NaturallySpeaking;

• Keyboard-only navigation — all primary content and functions are intended to be operable without a mouse (known limitations noted in Section 4);

• High contrast display modes — Windows High Contrast Mode and equivalent OS-level settings;

• Browser-level text resize — content is designed to remain functional and readable when text is resized up to 200% without horizontal scrolling on viewport widths of 1280px and above.

Compatibility with some older versions of assistive technologies cannot be guaranteed. IIA recommends keeping screen readers and browsers up to date to ensure the best experience.

If you require any content published on the IIA website — including programme documentation, sponsorship briefs, policy papers, event materials, or legal documents — in an alternative or more accessible format, IIA will endeavour to provide this. Formats we can offer include:

• Plain text documents;

• Large-print versions of key documents;

• Tagged and structured accessible PDF;

• Word (.docx) format for documents originally published as PDF;

• Audio description or summary for video content (where available);

• Simplified summary versions of complex policy or legal documents.

The accessibility of certain pages on the site depend on contents that do not belong to the organization, and instead belong to [enter relevant third-party name]. The following pages are affected by this: [list the URLs of the pages]. We therefore declare partial compliance with the standard for these pages.

We welcome feedback on the accessibility of the IIA website. If you experience any difficulty accessing content on this website, encounter a barrier not identified in Section 4, or have a suggestion for how we can improve accessibility, please contact us using the details below.

When reporting an issue, the following information will help us respond effectively:

• The URL or page where you experienced the difficulty;

• The assistive technology or browser you were using (e.g. NVDA screen reader, Safari on iPhone);

• A description of what you were trying to do and what happened;

• Any error messages you received.
