Accessibility Statement

Signect is committed to making communication support accessible and inclusive for everyone who uses it. Signect is Deaf-led, and accessibility isn't an add-on — it's been built into the platform from the very beginning, shaped by the people who understand communication access best.

Across the Signect website and platform, we aim to provide:

• Responsive design that works across devices
• Full keyboard navigation
• Clear, consistent headings
• Accessible colour contrast
• Plain English throughout
• Screen reader compatibility, where possible
• Mobile-friendly layouts

Signect supports communication access, including:

• BSL Interpreters
• Deaf Interpreters
• Communication Support Workers
• Lipspeakers
• Captioners
• Note Takers

Additional communication support services may be added as Signect grows.

Accessibility is something we continually review and improve, rather than treat as finished. User feedback plays a real part in this — if something doesn't work well for you, telling us helps us make the platform better for everyone.

We're actively planning further accessibility improvements. These are not yet available, but are part of our future direction, including:

• AI-powered BSL avatar guidance
• BSL video versions of key website pages
• Signed FAQs
• Improved accessibility tools

If you experience any accessibility barriers while using Signect, please let us know — we want to hear about it and put it right. You can contact us at signect@signwavehub.co.uk.

Signect aims to follow recognised accessibility best practices and work towards WCAG 2.2 AA where practical. We don't claim formal accessibility certification, but accessibility guides our decisions at every stage of building and improving the platform.
