Accessibility Statement

Bridges Institute is committed to making its website usable for everyone, including people with disabilities. We treat accessibility as an ongoing responsibility, built into the site itself rather than added on afterwards.

The standard we follow

We aim to conform to Israeli Standard IS 5568, which is based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0) at Level AA.

What we have done

  • Semantic headings and landmark regions (header, navigation, main, footer).
  • A “skip to content” link and full keyboard operability, with a visible focus indicator on every interactive element.
  • Text alternatives for meaningful images; decorative images are hidden from screen readers.
  • Form fields with real, associated labels.
  • Colour contrast checked against AA thresholds, including the brand gold on light backgrounds.
  • Respect for the operating system’s “reduce motion” preference.

Ongoing work

Accessibility is never finished. We continue to test and improve, and this statement will be published in Hebrew and Arabic as part of the site’s multilingual rollout.

Reporting an accessibility problem

If you come across a barrier on this site, please tell us and we will do our best to put it right.
