Accessibility Statement
Scope
This policy applies to all digital properties and content produced by Abi Street Studio, including websites, web applications, PDFs, multimedia, and documents intended for public or client use.
Commitment
Abi Street Studio is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We aim to make our services, content and technology perceivable, operable, understandable and robust for all users, aligning with recognised accessibility standards and best practice.
Standards and Guidelines
We design and develop content in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA as our minimum target. Where feasible and appropriate, we aim to meet WCAG 2.2 and emerging best practices. We also follow applicable national accessibility legislation and regulations.
Roles and Responsibilities
Management: Ensure accessibility is embedded in company strategy, resource allocation and procurement.
Project leads and designers: Integrate accessibility requirements from project start, including user research and design artefacts.
Developers and content authors: Implement accessible code, markup and content, and follow documented patterns and component libraries.
Quality assurance: Include accessibility checks in testing plans and report issues for remediation.
Accessibility lead: Provide guidance, maintain policy and coordinate training, audits and remediation work.
Design and Development Practices
Use semantic HTML and proper accessibility APIs.
Ensure keyboard accessibility for all interactive elements.
Provide sufficient colour contrast for text and graphical objects.
Design flexible layouts that accommodate magnification and assistive technologies.
Provide clear focus indicators, labels and instructions for form fields and controls.
Avoid relying on colour alone to convey information; provide text equivalents or patterns.
Include descriptive alternative text for non-text content and meaningful captions or transcripts for audio and video where possible.
Ensure time-sensitive content provides controls to extend or pause where appropriate.
Content Creation
Write content in clear, simple language and organise information logically.
Use headings, lists and consistent structure to aid navigation.
Ensure PDFs and downloadable documents are properly tagged and accessible, or provide accessible alternatives.
Keep hyperlinks descriptive of their destination or function.
Multimedia
Provide captions for pre-recorded audio and video.
Provide transcripts for audio-only content.
For live multimedia events, provide live captions where possible and an accessibility statement in event materials.
Testing and Evaluation
Conduct accessibility testing during design and development phases, including automated tools and manual checks.
Engage users with disabilities for usability testing where practical.
Perform periodic audits of existing products and remediate identified issues according to risk and impact.
Third-party Content and Procurement
Assess accessibility of third-party tools, platforms and vendors prior to procurement.
Require accessibility information from suppliers and include accessibility expectations in contracts.
When third-party content is not accessible, provide an accessible alternative or workaround.
Training and Awareness
Provide regular accessibility training for designers, developers, content authors and project managers.
Maintain internal resources, patterns and component libraries that promote accessible design and development.
Feedback and Reporting
We welcome feedback on accessibility issues. Contact details for reporting accessibility problems are published on each digital property.
On receipt of a report, we will acknowledge it promptly, investigate and provide an estimated timeframe for resolution where possible.
Where immediate fixes are impractical, we will offer reasonable alternatives or workarounds.
Exceptions and Risk Management
Where full conformance is not immediately achievable, we will document the reasons, expected remediation timeline and interim solutions.
Accessibility considerations will be included in risk assessments for projects and products.
Continuous Improvement
Abi Street Studio will review this policy annually and update practices in line with technological change, user needs and legal requirements.
We aim to continually improve accessibility across our services through audits, user research and staff development.
Effective Date and Review This policy is effective from 25 October 2026 and will be reviewed at least once every 12 months or sooner to reflect changes in standards, law or business practice.
Contact Contact details for accessibility enquiries, feedback and complaints are provided on our digital properties. Reports should include a description of the issue, the web address or document title, the assistive technology used (if any) and contact information for follow-up.
