Accessibility Statement

Last updated: 23 July 2026

Our commitment

At Hands On Primary, we believe that meaningful arts education should be as accessible and inclusive as possible.

We are committed to creating a website and educational resources that are welcoming, easy to use and continually improving for all visitors.

Accessibility is an ongoing process rather than a finished destination. As Hands On Primary grows, we will continue to review and improve both our website and our downloadable resources.

Our website

When designing our website, we aim to:

  • use clear, readable fonts

  • maintain good colour contrast wherever possible

  • organise content with logical headings and page structure

  • use descriptive links and buttons

  • keep navigation simple and consistent

  • ensure the website works across a range of devices

  • avoid unnecessary clutter or distracting design elements

Where practical, we also aim to provide meaningful alternative text for images to support visitors using screen readers.

Our downloadable resources

Our learning packs are designed primarily as printable resources for families and educators.

When creating them, we aim to:

  • use clear page layouts

  • provide easy-to-read instructions

  • organise activities into logical sections

  • use consistent icons and visual cues throughout our resources

  • choose fonts that are clear and readable

  • design pages that are easy to print at home

Where appropriate, we also consider:

  • colour contrast

  • spacing

  • visual clarity

  • reducing unnecessary visual overload

Educational accessibility

Hands On Primary recognises that children learn in many different ways.

Our resources are designed with flexibility in mind, allowing parents, carers and educators to adapt activities to suit individual children's interests, abilities and learning needs.

Many activities encourage open-ended creativity rather than expecting one "correct" outcome, helping children participate in ways that work for them.

Continuous improvement

We know that accessibility is always evolving.

As our business grows, we hope to continue improving our website and resources by:

  • listening to feedback from families and educators

  • reviewing new accessibility guidance

  • improving the accessibility of future resources

  • updating older resources where practical

Known limitations

As a small independent business, we are continually developing our website and resources.

Some older resources or images may not yet meet the same accessibility standards as our newer materials.

We are committed to improving these over time wherever practical.

Feedback

If you experience any accessibility barriers while using our website or resources, or if you have suggestions that could help us improve, we would genuinely appreciate hearing from you.

Please contact us at:

hello@handsonprimary.com

We will do our best to respond promptly and consider all feedback carefully.

Standards

Hands On Primary aims to follow recognised accessibility good practice and is continually working towards improving the accessibility of both our website and our educational resources.

While Hands On Primary is a private business and is not legally required to meet the same accessibility obligations as UK public sector organisations, we believe accessibility benefits everyone and remains an important part of how we design, create and share our resources.
