We’re committed to providing a website that is accessible and easy to use for everyone behind the scenes in UK film, TV and cinema. We strongly believe that this is an ongoing process and are constantly seeking to improve.
The way our site looks
The Film and TV Charity’s website has been designed within Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 and aim to conform to AA ratings. The WCAG is an independent set of guidelines that aims to make the web more accessible.
Our colours have been tested for accessibility standards for headline and non-headline content. Videos have been embedded from YouTube, so contain caption functionality which you can access by clicking the ‘CC’ button on the video, in addition to this we aim to make sure that all our images will have descriptive text for those using screen readers.
The way our site is built
Our website has been built to W3C AA standards and should respond responsively and appropriately to magnifiers and other tools that are built into modern operating systems.
We have built the site with the user in mind. Each page has a clear purpose with accurate image descriptions and user-friendly and descriptive hyperlinks between pages to help aid navigation.
Accessibility tools
Recite Me is an innovative cloud-based software that lets our visitors view and use our website in a way that works best for them. We’ve added the Recite Me web accessibility and language toolbar to our website to make it accessible and inclusive for as many people as possible.
