Accessibility Statement for Rural Rebellion

​

Last updated: October 2025

Rural Rebellion is committed to making our digital content accessible to everyone — including people with disabilities, neurodiverse users, and those using assistive technologies. Our mission is to make information about Rural Futures — innovations in farming, off-grid living, and rural revival — open and inclusive for all.

Our Commitment

We aim to meet or exceed the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines outline best practices for making web content more accessible and user-friendly for everyone.

We are working to ensure that:

• All written content is clear, concise, and easy to understand.

• Text has sufficient contrast for readability.

• All images, charts, and diagrams include meaningful alternative text.

• Audio and video materials include transcripts, captions, or summaries wherever possible.

• The site is fully navigable using a keyboard or assistive technology.

• Interactive tools and AI-driven features are designed with accessibility in mind.

How We Build Accessibility In

Accessibility is part of our design process from the start.
Our web team regularly reviews content and uses both automated and manual testing to identify and resolve accessibility issues.

We design for compatibility with:

• The latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.

• Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android operating systems.

• Screen readers, voice navigation tools, and keyboard-only navigation.

Known Limitations

We recognise that not every element of Rural Rebellion may yet meet full accessibility standards. Known limitations may include:

• Some older video or audio content without full transcripts or captions.

• User-generated or third-party content beyond our control.

• Occasional minor layout or contrast issues in legacy posts.

We are committed to fixing these issues as part of our continuous improvement process.
