- Ensuring all interactive elements are fully operable via keyboard and switch devices
- Maintaining WCAG 2.2 Level AA compliance across all platforms and languages
- Regularly auditing our platform with real users who have disabilities
- Training our development and editorial teams in inclusive design practices
