Accessibility of surveys

Accessibility of surveys refers to the design and implementation of research surveys in a way that allows all respondents, including those with disabilities or impairments, to participate fully and effectively. Making surveys accessible ensures inclusivity and helps avoid bias in the data collected.

Why accessibility matters?

  • Ensures that all target respondents can provide their opinions, not just those without disabilities.
  • Supports ethical research practices and compliance with accessibility standards.
  • Improves data quality and representativeness by capturing the views of otherwise underrepresented groups.

How surveys can be made accessible

  • Designing surveys with clear and simple language.
  • Ensuring compatibility with assistive technologies, such as screen readers for blind or partially-sighted users.
  • Providing alternative formats where necessary, such as large print, audio, or telephone options.
  • Testing surveys for accessibility issues before full deployment.

DJS Research approach...

DJS Research has made progress in enhancing the compatibility of our online survey templates with screen-readers, enabling blind and partially-sighted users to participate. This functionality has been tested in specific cases and will soon be implemented across all surveys, ensuring a consistent, inclusive experience for all respondents.
