ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

TAY Athletics wants its website and digital services to be usable by as many people as reasonably possible, including people with disabilities. Accessibility is treated as an ongoing design, content and engineering responsibility rather than a one-time feature.

Our current target is to design and develop the TAY website with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA in mind.

As the TAY website is developed and maintained, we aim to support accessibility through measures including:

• clear page structure and meaningful heading order;
• keyboard-accessible navigation, links, buttons and forms;
• visible keyboard focus indicators;
• labels and instructions for form fields, including Login, Create Account, membership and booking flows;
• text and control contrast designed for readability;
• alternative text for meaningful images and appropriate treatment of decorative imagery;
• responsive layouts that remain usable on smaller screens and when text is enlarged;
• touch targets sized for reliable mobile interaction;
• interactions that do not require hover alone to reveal essential content;
• support for reduced-motion preferences by disabling non-essential motion;
• clear validation and status feedback for interactive forms and account actions.

TAY’s account, membership and football pitch experiences are designed so the essential action can be completed by deliberate click, tap or keyboard input rather than relying on pointer hover. Where visual motion is used, the underlying control should remain understandable and operable without that motion.

Booking states, prices, form requirements and important actions should be communicated in text and not through colour alone.

TAY uses motion, image transitions and pointer-responsive effects as part of its visual identity. These effects are considered non-essential presentation. Where a device or browser indicates a preference for reduced motion, the website is designed to reduce or remove non-essential animation.

Essential content and controls should remain available without requiring animation or a precise pointer movement.

Some TAY functions may rely on third-party services, such as payment interfaces, maps, social platforms or other embedded tools. We aim to select and configure third-party services with accessibility in mind, but TAY does not control every aspect of an external provider’s interface.

If a third-party component creates a barrier, contact us and we will try to provide the information or transaction through a reasonable alternative method where practicable.

If you experience difficulty using any part of the TAY website, cannot complete an account, membership, booking or shop action, or need information in another accessible format, tell us what happened and what page or feature you were using.

We take accessibility feedback seriously and will use it to prioritise practical improvements.

Accessibility work continues as the TAY website changes. New pages, new booking or payment integrations and significant design changes should be reviewed against the same accessibility principles used for the rest of the site.

Where issues are identified, we will aim to address them in proportion to their impact and the importance of the affected service.

This statement may be updated when accessibility work, technology or the services available on the TAY website materially change. The latest revision date appears at the top of this page.
