Accessibility Statement

Last updated: 22 December 2025

Renaissance Research Centre is a migrant-led consultancy and training organisation working for migrant justice across Europe. We dismantle systemic racism in migration, health, and integration systems through evidence, policy, and radical collaboration.

Accessibility is central to our mission. We recognise that barriers to access—digital, linguistic, physical, and systemic—disproportionately exclude migrants, racialised communities, disabled people, and those with lived experience of marginalisation. We are committed to creating inclusive and accessible spaces across our digital platforms, research, and programmes.

1. Our Commitment

We aim to ensure that our website, communications, training, and research practices are accessible to as many people as possible, regardless of disability, migration status, language, or access needs.

Our approach is informed by:

  • Disability justice principles

  • Anti-racist and decolonial practice

  • Trauma-informed and care-centred design

  • The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA

2. Website Accessibility

We are working to ensure our website is:

  • Navigable using a keyboard

  • Compatible with screen readers and assistive technologies

  • Designed with sufficient colour contrast

  • Structured with clear headings and readable text

  • Responsive across devices (desktop, tablet, mobile)

We aim to avoid unnecessary animations, flashing content, or design elements that may cause sensory overload.

3. Language & Readability

We strive to:

  • Use clear, plain, and non-bureaucratic language where possible

  • Explain technical or policy terms

  • Acknowledge that English may not be a first language for many users

Where resources allow, we aim to provide:

  • Alternative formats

  • Translations or summaries

  • Visual or audio-supported materials

4. Training, Events & Research Accessibility

For our consultancy, training, and research activities, we aim to:

  • Invite participants to share access needs in advance

  • Offer reasonable adjustments, such as:

    • Live captions or transcripts

    • Accessible documents (screen-reader friendly PDFs, Word formats)

    • Flexible participation options (online/in-person/hybrid where possible)

  • Design sessions that are inclusive, participatory, and trauma-informed

We understand that not all access needs are visible and welcome ongoing dialogue.

5. Known Limitations

We are a small, migrant-led organisation with limited resources. While we strive to meet high accessibility standards, some areas of our website or materials may not yet be fully accessible.

We are committed to:

  • Ongoing improvement

  • Learning from feedback

  • Prioritising accessibility where it has the greatest impact

6. Feedback & Access Requests

We welcome feedback on accessibility and invite you to tell us if:

  • You encounter barriers accessing our website or materials

  • You require information in an alternative format

  • You have suggestions for improving accessibility

Please contact us at:

Email: info@rrcentre.eu
Subject line: Accessibility Request / Feedback

We will do our best to respond in a timely, respectful, and supportive way.

7. Continuous Improvement

Accessibility is an ongoing process, not a one-off task. We commit to:

  • Regularly reviewing our digital and organisational practices

  • Incorporating accessibility into project planning and delivery

  • Centring the voices of disabled migrants and racialised communities in our work

8. Alignment with Our Values

Accessibility is inseparable from justice. For Renaissance Research Centre, accessibility is not only about compliance—it is about dignity, participation, and collective liberation.
