Our Commitment

Reasons to Stay is a suicide prevention and wellbeing project. We know that people may visit this site when they are tired, stressed, in crisis, neurodivergent, disabled, or using assistive technology. We want the site to be calm, clear, and usable for as many people as possible.

Standards We Aim For

We aim to make this website conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA.

Where we cannot fully meet this standard (for example, due to third-party tools), we will do our best to provide a reasonable alternative.

Accessibility Features

We design the site to support:

  • Clear headings and structure for screen readers and keyboard users
  • Keyboard navigation (including visible focus states)
  • Readable text with good spacing
  • Accessible link styles (underlined, with clear focus)
  • Reduced motion support where your device/browser requests it

Known Limitations

We work to keep the site accessible, but some areas may not be perfect. For example:

  • Some embedded third-party content (videos, widgets, forms) may have accessibility limitations outside our control
  • Older content may not always meet newer accessibility expectations

If you find a problem, please tell us. We take this seriously and will prioritise fixes that improve access.
