Accessibility statement

This accessibility statement applies to the Royal College of Occupational Therapists’ website

Our commitment

We believe in offering digitally accessible services to our s. We recognise that everyone’s needs are different, so we aim to make our services as accessible as possible for our s, including people with disabilities and long-term conditions. We also understand that the needs of our s and the they need may change over time.

Our approach

This website has been built to conform with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) v2.2 AA. These standards include information and resources to help ensure that our applications and systems are built to be digitally accessible.

While testing the website, we’ve involved within the occupational therapy community who have a variety of needs –to ensure we move beyond compliance and can offer a genuinely accessible experience. This testing was conducted by Web Usability, an independent research agency,.

Our website accessibility now

We want as many people as possible to be able to use our digital products and services. To achieve this, we:

browser or device settings to change colours and contrast levels
keyboard or speech recognition software to navigate our products
provide alternative text and logical heading structures to screen readers
make sure links have meaningful text that shows the what to expect when they click on it, instead of using ’click here’
present improved form navigation with labelled fields and a logical tab sequence.

Preparing this accessibility statement

We prepared this statement on 1 April 2025 and last reviewed it on 1 April 2025.

We’ll regularly review our website against the WCAG 2.2 AA standard and update this accessibility statement to reflect any further changes.

We welcome your

We research and test our website design with s who have a variety of needs. We value getting so we can learn and improve.
