Accessibility

Every child should be able to use these sites. If one doesn't work for you, please tell me.

Our aim

The Picnics aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. This statement covers thepicnics.org; each Picnic is built to the same aim.

What's in place

• Everything can be reached with the keyboard, and the focused item has a visible outline. The first link on each page skips to the content.
• Text is meant to meet AA contrast in every color palette, light and dark. The shirt button at the top of the page has five palettes and a dark mode.
• Pages still work zoomed to 200% and on a phone, without scrolling sideways.
• The little bit of movement there is turns off if your device asks for reduced motion.
• Pages use real headings, lists and labelled buttons. Decorative pictures are hidden from screen readers.

Known limits

• Your palette and light or dark choice is kept separately on each Picnic, so you may need to set it again on each site.
• Printed worksheets are designed for sight; a screen-reader user will get on better with each Picnic's on-screen pages.
• Some activities on the individual Picnics, such as drag-and-drop or sound-only exercises, may have their own limits; each site's pages describe them where they apply.

Reporting a problem

If something on a Picnic is hard or impossible to use, please write to hello@thepicnics.org. Say which page, what you were trying to do, and which browser or assistive technology you use. I read every message, and I treat these as bugs.
