Accessibility Statement

About the Resolution Foundation

The Resolution Foundation is an independent think-tank dedicated to lifting living standards in the UK. We focus particularly on households with low and middle incomes; those on low pay or in precarious work; and those vulnerable to financial shocks. We also investigate fairness between the generations in our Intergenerational Centre.

We are committed to increasing access to both the content of our work and our employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities. This statement details the action we take to meet that commitment.

Measures to support accessibility

Measures taken by the Resolution Foundation to ensure accessibility include:

• prioritising accessibility throughout our internal policies
• integrating accessibility into our recruitment practices
• devising and assigning clear accessibility goals and responsibilities
• employing formal accessibility quality assurance measures

Accessibility of resolutionfoundation.org

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. WCAG defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. WCAG 2.2, published in October 2023, is the current version of the standard.

The Resolution Foundation is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not yet fully conform to the accessibility standard. Our goal is full WCAG 2.2 Level AA conformance. We have already applied a number of Level AA criteria, including captions on our live stream videos and ensuring we have no images of text containing more than incidental content.

Technical specifications

Accessibility of resolutionfoundation.org relies on HTML to work with the particular combination of web browser and any assistive technologies or plugins installed on your device. HTML is relied upon for conformance with the accessibility standards used.

Limitations and alternatives

Despite our best efforts, there may be some limitations to the accessibility of our website. Below is a description of some limitations we are yet to address. Please contact us if you observe an issue not listed below.

• We aim to ensure that every website action can be performed using only a keyboard.
• We aim to ensure all content is compatible with assistive technology.
• We aim to ensure a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 across all website elements. This standard is applied in all our publications but only to some areas of our website text.
• Our website does not currently include additional accessibility tools such as a colour switcher or text resizer.

Assessment approach

The Resolution Foundation assessed the accessibility of resolutionfoundation.org by self-evaluation, last conducted in July 2026.

Accessibility of Resolution Foundation publications

All Resolution Foundation publications are available free for download as PDFs, subject to the terms of our Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial No Derivatives 4.0 International Licence. We work to ensure our PDFs are tagged and structured to be readable by screen readers; however, if you experience difficulty accessing any publication in this format, we are happy to provide it in an alternative format upon request. Please contact us using the details below.

Accessibility of Resolution Foundation events

We strive to ensure our events are accessible to all attendees. Events held at our office at 2 Queen Anne’s Gate, London SW1H 9AA have a hearing loop and wheelchair access available. We include automatic captions on all livestreams, although these can take a short time to appear as we rely on YouTube for this functionality. Where events are held at external venues, accessibility is prioritised as a key requirement in venue selection. If you would like to discuss the accessibility of our events, please contact us using the details below.

Accessibility information for job applicants

We are committed to increasing diversity within our own organisation and the economic policy-making sector more widely. We welcome applications from candidates with work-limiting health conditions or impairments and are happy to make reasonable adjustments throughout the recruitment process. We offer pre-application conversations when relevant so candidates can assess the demands of the role and ensure the working environment is suitable for them.

We have achieved Disability Confident Level 1 status and are currently working towards Level 2.
