Accessibility Statement

Commitment and scope

SiliconJury aims to make its public website and editorial productions usable by as many people as reasonably possible, including people who use assistive technologies, keyboard navigation, captions, zoom, reflow or reduced motion.

This statement covers the public welcome page, debate library, episode pages, policy and concern surfaces, authentication pages and public audiovisual editions. Authenticated production tools are part of continuing accessibility work but may have different operational constraints.

Target standard and current status

The public experience is designed toward the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA. This is a target and testing framework, not an unsupported claim that every page, language, browser and media asset has been formally certified as conformant.

Accessibility is reviewed during design, implementation and correction work. Automated checks support but do not replace keyboard, screen-reader, zoom, contrast and human usability testing.

Measures in the public experience

• Semantic landmarks, logical headings and server-rendered core policy content.
• Keyboard-operable links and controls with visible focus treatment.
• Language and text-direction metadata, including right-to-left Persian layout.
• Responsive reflow, readable contrast and text that is not hidden behind hover-only interactions.
• Reduced-motion support for non-essential animation.
• Accessible labels, error presentation and instructions for public forms.
• Alternative text for informative imagery and decorative treatment that is hidden from assistive technology where appropriate.

Audiovisual content, captions and languages

Published editions should provide captions when a reviewed caption track is available and should identify the edition language and localization relationship. Captions, transcripts, translations and speaker identification can contain errors and may be corrected after review.

AI-assisted imagery, speech and animation are disclosed as editorial content, not used as a substitute for accessibility information. When essential visual information is not conveyed in speech or text, SiliconJury aims to add an appropriate textual equivalent or contextual description.

Known limitations

Some older or complex audiovisual content may have incomplete captions, transcripts, audio description or speaker labeling. Automated captions and localized text may contain timing, pronunciation or translation errors. Some authenticated production interfaces can require dense controls that are still being improved for small screens and assistive technology.

A limitation is not treated as resolved merely because an automated test passes. Reports from people affected by the barrier are valuable evidence for prioritization and correction.

Technical compatibility

The public site is intended to work with current standards-based browsers and commonly used assistive technologies. Very old browsers, unsupported combinations, disabled essential browser features or third-party platform pages reached through external links may behave differently.

Feedback and accessible alternatives

Use the accessibility category in the monitored concern form. Include the page or episode URL, the task you were trying to complete, the barrier, your browser or assistive technology when relevant, and the format or alternative that would help. Do not include unnecessary health or disability information.

SiliconJury will assess whether a practical accessible alternative, content repair or technical correction can be provided. No fixed response-time commitment is published until the operation can reliably meet it.

Assessment, corrections and updates

Accessibility reports enter the same case and audit process described in the Corrections & Complaints Policy. Material public barriers and their remediation may be noted in the relevant content history. This statement is versioned and updated when scope, practices or known limitations materially change.

Accessibility contact path

Submit an accessibility concern through the monitored form. No separate monitored accessibility contact channel is configured at present; that is a known operational and accessibility gap. If the form itself is the barrier, a person you authorize may submit the report on your behalf without including unnecessary health or disability information.
