Accessibility Statement for Beyond Legal Aid

At Beyond Legal Aid, we believe that justice must be accessible to everyone. That commitment extends to our digital spaces. We are dedicated to ensuring that our website is inclusive, usable, and accessible for all community members, including people with disabilities.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

Beyond Legal Aid strives to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Levels A and AA, the widely recognized standards for digital accessibility. These guidelines help ensure that people who use assistive technologies—such as screen readers, screen magnifiers, speech-recognition software, and keyboard-only navigation—can access our content without barriers.

Accessibility is an ongoing effort, and we continually review and improve our website to reflect evolving best practices and user needs.

How We Support Accessible Use

We incorporate accessibility into every stage of our website’s design and development. Recent updates to improve accessibility include:

  • Skip-to-content navigation to support keyboard users

  • Clear, high-contrast focus states so all visitors can see where they are on the page

  • Improved page structure and ARIA labels to support screen-reader navigation

  • Accessible link labeling to clarify when links open in new windows

  • Enhanced color contrast and text readability throughout the site

  • Review of image descriptions and alt text for clarity and accuracy

Third-Party Content

Our website may include third-party tools or embedded media (e.g., maps, videos, documents). While we cannot fully control the accessibility of these elements, we make every effort to use accessible providers or offer alternatives when possible.

We Welcome Your Feedback

Your feedback is essential to our accessibility journey. If you encounter a barrier or have suggestions to improve the accessibility of our site, please reach out:

  • Email: info@beyondlegalaid.org

We take all concerns seriously and will respond promptly to assist you or resolve any accessibility issues.

Ongoing Commitment

Accessibility is an integral part of Beyond Legal Aid’s mission to empower communities and provide equitable access to justice. As our website and digital tools evolve, we will continue to prioritize accessibility improvements, community feedback, and inclusive design.
