Prevention only counts if everyone can reach it.
Here is how we build for access, what still needs work, and how to tell us when something gets in your way.

Readable by design
Body text runs at comfortable sizes with generous line spacing, color contrast is checked against WCAG 2.1 AA, and nothing important is communicated by color alone.
Works without a mouse
Menus, tabs, filters, sliders, and dialogs can be reached and operated with a keyboard, and the focused element is always visible.
Built for screen readers
Pages use real headings and landmarks, images carry descriptive alternative text, and interactive controls announce their name, role, and state.
Where we stand
Our commitment
G-MIP exists to put injury-prevention knowledge in front of every athlete, coach, parent, and clinician who needs it. That only works if the site is usable by people with visual, hearing, motor, and cognitive disabilities.
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA across the site, and we treat any barrier you report as a defect to fix rather than a request to consider.
What we do today
Semantic page structure with one main heading per page, landmark regions, and a logical heading order so screen-reader users can skim.
Keyboard access for every interactive element, including the resource search overlay, filter chips, tabs, hotspots, and modal panels, with focus returned to where you left off when a panel closes.
Text contrast checked against WCAG AA, and a light and dark presentation that both meet the same standard.
Descriptive alternative text on photography, diagrams, and infographics; charts and tables are accompanied by the numbers in text.
Motion kept modest, and animations respect your operating system's reduced-motion setting.
Responsive layouts that stay usable when text is enlarged to 200% or the screen is narrow.
Documents and video
The Female Athlete Safety Playbook and our downloadable guides are provided as tagged PDFs with selectable text so they can be read aloud and searched.
Where a resource is available only as a PDF, the key guidance is also summarized in plain HTML on its resource page.
Instructional videos include on-screen demonstration plus written step-by-step instructions. Captions are being added to our video library; if you need a transcript for a specific video before then, ask and we will send one.
Known limitations
Some older research PDFs we link to are hosted by journals and publishers we do not control, and their accessibility varies. If a cited source is unreadable for you, contact us and we will summarize its findings directly.
Captioning of the full video library is in progress.
Interactive diagrams such as the anatomy explorer offer a text equivalent, but the visual exploration itself is not a like-for-like experience with a screen reader.
Assistive technology we test with
We test with current versions of Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge, using VoiceOver on macOS and iOS and NVDA on Windows, plus keyboard-only navigation and browser zoom.
Tell us about a barrier
If any part of this site or any of our materials is difficult or impossible for you to use, email info@preventsportsinjury.com with the page address and a short description of what happened. Include the browser and assistive technology you were using if you know them.
We aim to respond within five business days and to provide the content you were trying to reach in an alternative format in the meantime.
Ongoing review
Accessibility is reviewed whenever we ship a new page or interactive feature, and the whole site is reviewed at least once a year. This statement is updated at the same time.
