Accessibility Statement
This accessibility statement applies to the website www.wavehill.com
This website is run by Wavehill Ltd. We are a social and economic research company that recognises the importance of providing a website that is accessible to users.
Accessible features on our website
As part of the design process, we have been mindful to consider inclusive design principles. This includes:
-
Using a colour pallet that is optimised to meet AAA standards
-
Using site plan and breadcrumb navigation
-
Having useful and appropriate hyperlinks and call to action buttons
-
Ensuring the use of Alt Text across the site
-
We have sought external advice from Chemical Code on how we can improve the design
We know that some parts of our website are not fully accessible
-
Some PDFs uploaded may not be fully accessible to screen reader software. Where this is the case please get in touch, we may be able to provide this information in a different format such as a word document. The Userway app (see below) can also convert PDFs into more accessible formats
Where there are gaps in our approach, we are using a widget from Userway.org to provide additional functionality to support users with accessibility needs. This enables the content on the website to be WCAG compliant. The functionality includes:
-
Screen reader functions
-
Dictionary lookups without leaving the site
-
Changing text size, height and spacing
-
Changing colour and saturation
-
Highlighting links

Dyslexia friendly font
-
