Accessibility

The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI) wants everyone to be able to use therisk.global, including people who use screen readers, magnification, voice control, keyboard navigation or captions. This site is designed to meet WCAG 2.2 level AA. We test pages and fix barriers we find. This page explains how the site supports assistive technology, where we know it falls short and how to report a barrier, which helps us fix it. It is part of trust and accountability.

01How the site is built

Design choices that support access.

Accessibility is built into the page kit that every GCRI page uses, rather than added afterwards.

Structure

Headings and landmarks

One main heading per page, ordered section headings and labelled regions for screen readers.

Navigation

Keyboard and focus

Interactive elements work with a keyboard and show a visible focus state. Content stays readable without scripts.

Display

Contrast and themes

Text contrast is chosen for legibility in light and dark themes, and layouts adapt to small screens and zoom.

02Canvas

Report to outcome.

Canvas · report to outcomeDesign, not a record
How a correction moves on The Global Centre for Risk and InnovationA report is acknowledged and triaged; a reviewer not involved in the original work assesses it; the outcome is a new version with its history or a reasoned decline, and the reporter is told either way. Design of the workflow, not a record.

04Known limits

Where barriers may remain.

We would rather tell you where problems may exist than claim there are none.

  • Older documents and some third-party files may not be fully accessible
  • Complex figures and maps carry captions and text summaries, which may not convey every detail
  • Embedded content from other providers follows their own accessibility
  • Pages on other institutions' sites follow their own accessibility statements
05Report a barrier

Tell us what did not work.

  1. 01

    Write to us

    Report a barrier to privacy@therisk.global or contact@therisk.global.

  2. 02

    Describe the problem

    Name the page, what you were trying to do, and the device, browser and assistive technology you use, if you are comfortable sharing them.

  3. 03

    What happens next

    The acknowledgement gives a reference and names the next step. Where we can, we provide the information in another format while the fix is made.

This statement makes no claim of full accessibility or of compliance with any law or standard. The Global Risks Forum publishes its own statement at GRF accessibility.

06Questions

Questions and answers.

Is therisk.global fully accessible?
We do not claim that. The site is designed to meet WCAG 2.2 level AA, we test pages and we fix barriers we find. If something does not work for you, please tell us.
Can I get a document in another format?
Yes, where we can produce it. Write to contact@therisk.global naming the document and the format you need.
Do the specialist platforms follow the same approach?
Platforms published by GCRI use the same page kit and the same reporting route. Pages on The Global Risks Forum and The Global Risks Alliance sites have their own statements, for example at GRF accessibility.
Will reporting a barrier share my personal data?
Your report is used to fix the barrier and keep a record of it, under the privacy notice of therisk.global. It is not used for marketing or shared with other institutions.

The current service level is R0: information and enquiries. An enquiry receives a reference and names the next step; applications, payments, compute allocations and registrations open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
