To ensure accessibility, IStructE has implemented the following measures:

Our roadmap 

As of 28 June 2025, we have conducted an accessibility audit and worked with partners to assess our digital estate.  

We acknowledge that some parts of the website may not yet fully comply with these standards. We have a roadmap in place to achieve full compliance under the EAA (ukaaf.org) within the next 12 months, for which the priorities are: 

• making PDF documents fully accessible to screen reader software. 

• ensuring that captioning and subtitling of video streams is available. 

• modifying the line height or spacing of text. 

• skipping to main content when using a screen reader.
