Accessibility

Updated: April 24, 2025

Northwest Justice Project (NJP) is committed to providing an inclusive and accessible experience to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. 

NJP’s commitment is guided by our accessibility policy to ensure that people with disabilities have full and equal opportunity to access and benefit from the information and tools offered by NJP through WashingtonLawHelp.org.

Support and feedback

We welcome your questions and feedback on the accessibility of WashingtonLawHelp.org.  

Please let us know how we can help you: 

Compatibility 

WashingtonLawHelp.org is designed to be compatible with assistive technologies and the last two versions of major browsers including Chrome, FireFox, and Safari. 

Assistive technologies include NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, and TalkBack screen readers. 

WashingtonLawHelp.org may not display optimally in Internet Explorer 10 or older browsers. 

Expertise, evaluation, and training

NJP retained WeCo as an independent third-party specialist to provide consultation and audit WashingtonLawHelp.org for WCAG 2.1 AA conformance. WeCo prepared a written report based on the evaluation, which helps WLH identify any barriers and provides recommendations to make WashingtonLawHelp.org more accessible.

NJP also engages in periodic audits, regular web page scans, and testing by professionals with disabilities to continually assess and improve the accessibility of WashingtonLawHelp.org. 

NJP further invests in training on accessibility for our digital team to ensure our web content personnel, developers, designers, and other team members are knowledgeable and follow best practices for accessibility.
