Accessibility
Clearer access to useful research guidance
Involvestory aims to make information about public involvement in health, public health and social care research easy to find, understand and use.
Our commitment
Accessibility and inclusion
We work to present guidance in ways that support different access needs, including people using assistive technology, keyboard navigation, screen magnification and plain-language content.
Public involvement depends on people being able to access information and contribute on fair terms. We apply the same principle to this site by using readable type, clear headings, meaningful links and layouts that work across screen sizes.
We review pages as they are updated and continue to improve the experience where practical changes can make information easier to use.
What we aim for
Built for straightforward use
Our design choices focus on helping visitors move through content without unnecessary barriers.
Clear contrast
Text and essential interface elements use colour combinations chosen to support comfortable reading and clear distinction.
Flexible layouts
Pages are designed to respond to smaller screens and work with browser zoom, without relying on a single device or viewing size.
