Accessibility Statement

This statement was last updated on 07/11/2025.

 

We at YAVA  are working to make our site www.yava.com accessible to people with disabilities.

Our Commitment

At YAVA, accessibility is a core part of our mission to make technology and innovation available to everyone — regardless of ability, circumstance, or environment. We believe that inclusivity begins with design, and that accessible digital systems are essential to the responsible use of technology.

​

We are committed to ensuring that our websites, digital platforms, and AI-driven solutions are usable and understandable by the widest possible audience, including people with disabilities or those using assistive technologies.

​

This Accessibility Statement explains the measures we take to achieve and maintain accessibility across all YAVA digital services, and our plan for continuous improvement as we grow.

Standards We Follow

YAVA’s accessibility approach is based on the following key international and national standards:

  • Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA – The current global benchmark for digital accessibility.

  • UK Equality Act 2010 – Our commitment to preventing discrimination and ensuring equal access for all users.

  • Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) Accessibility Regulations 2018 (UK) – We align with its principles of transparency, continuous assessment, and user feedback.

  • UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) – Upholding inclusive access to digital and communication technologies globally.

  • Data Protection and Privacy Frameworks – Including the UK GDPR, ensuring accessibility does not compromise user privacy or security.

How We Make Our Platform Accessible

We aim to design, test, and maintain all YAVA platforms with accessibility in mind from the start (“accessibility by design”). Key measures include:

​

  • Using clear, consistent navigation and readable text with proper contrast ratios.

  • Supporting keyboard-only navigation for users who cannot operate a mouse.

  • Ensuring screen reader compatibility for visually impaired users.

  • Providing alternative text (alt text) for all images, icons, and functional graphics.

  • Avoiding flashing or strobing content that may trigger seizures or discomfort.

  • Offering captions, transcripts, and descriptions for multimedia content.

  • Designing layouts that are responsive and device-agnostic, adapting to different screens and orientations.

  • Implementing language clarity and avoiding unnecessary jargon where possible.

We test our website and online systems with accessibility evaluation tools, screen readers (including NVDA and VoiceOver), and keyboard-only navigation audits.

Accessibility in Our Technology Solutions

Beyond our website, accessibility informs how we build and deploy technology for governments, startups, and multilateral clients. We:

  • Develop user interfaces that are usable by diverse populations, including those in low-connectivity or low-resource environments.

  • Work with clients to implement inclusive design standards in public-sector deployments (e.g. smart city dashboards, AI systems, and data portals).

  • Promote responsible AI that avoids bias and ensures fair outcomes for all users.

  • Provide training and advisory services to help partners align with accessibility and inclusion standards.

Continuous Improvement

Accessibility is an ongoing process, not a fixed outcome. YAVA regularly reviews and updates our digital systems to address new accessibility challenges as technology evolves.

We conduct annual accessibility audits and integrate user feedback into our development roadmap. Our in-house accessibility lead coordinates with developers, designers, and compliance officers to track progress and ensure accountability.

Third-Party Tools and Integrations

While we strive to ensure accessibility across all content, some third-party services integrated into our platforms (e.g. payment processors, video hosting, or analytics tools) may not yet fully conform to the same standards. We work with these providers to encourage accessibility improvements and offer alternatives wherever possible.

Feedback and Contact Information

We welcome feedback on the accessibility of YAVA’s website and platforms. If you encounter any accessibility barriers, please contact our Accessibility Team:

Compliance Status

YAVA’s website and core digital products partially conform to WCAG 2.2 Level AA standards.

 

Some non-text elements and third-party integrations are currently undergoing accessibility review. Full compliance is expected by Q4 2026.

​

We are committed to maintaining continuous improvement and publishing updated accessibility reports annually.

Our Broader Vision for Accessibility and Inclusion

Accessibility at YAVA is not just a legal requirement — it’s part of our responsibility to promote equal access to security, safety, and innovation. We work to ensure that the technology we deploy across nations and sectors reflects the same values of inclusivity and fairness that underpin our operations.

​

By integrating accessibility into every project, from AI systems to public infrastructure, we aim to make technology not only powerful — but human-centred, ethical, and open to all.
