Our Commitment to Accessibility

Burges Salmon is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We actively work to ensure our digital content meets recognised accessibility standards and provides an inclusive experience for all users.

This website has been designed and developed in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA.

This website has been designed and developed to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 standards and we aim to implement Level AA standards across our website. We are aware of a small number of limited exceptions. While we are committed to enhancing website accessibility and usability, some improvements may not be implemented where they would impose a disproportionate burden.

We continuously strive to improve the accessibility and usability of our website in line with best practices and evolving standards.

Measures to Support Accessibility

To ensure an accessible experience, we have implemented the following measures:

  • Clear and consistent navigation – Our website structure and content layout are designed to be intuitive and easy to navigate.
  • Keyboard navigation – Users can access most interactive elements and navigate the site using only a keyboard.
  • Alternative text for images – Most meaningful images include descriptive alternative text.
  • Screen reader compatibility – The website is optimised for assistive technologies, such as screen readers.
  • Colour contrast and text readability – We maintain sufficient colour contrast and use legible font styles and sizes to ensure readability.
  • Video and multimedia accessibility – Where possible, we provide captions, transcripts, or alternative formats for multimedia content, as supported by the relevant third-party.
  • Forms and interactive elements – Our forms and interactive components are designed with accessibility in mind, including appropriate labels and focus indicators.

We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand. AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

Ongoing Efforts and Improvements

We will conduct accessibility audits and user testing to identify and address issues. Whilst we will continue to make improvements to the site, we will strive to align with the latest accessibility standards and user needs, by making another assessment when we are reviewing and improving the site in the future.
