Accessibility Statement
Beacon People Limited is committed to making our website (beacon-people.co.uk) accessible to as many people as possible, including people with disabilities. We aim to meet the requirements of the Equality Act 2010 and, where applicable, to align with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA where practicable.
1. Our approach
We design and develop our website with accessibility in mind. This includes: using semantic HTML so that structure and meaning are clear; ensuring that the site can be navigated and operated using the keyboard; providing visible focus indicators so users can see where they are on the page; aiming for sufficient colour contrast between text and background; and providing clear, descriptive labels and instructions for forms and interactive elements. We test our pages with assistive technologies where possible and address issues we identify.
2. Known limitations
We are aware that some parts of the site may not yet meet our accessibility goals in every respect. We are working to improve the experience and will prioritise areas that have the greatest impact on users. If you encounter a specific barrier, please let us know using the contact details below so we can address it.
3. Third-party content
Some content on our site may be supplied by third parties (e.g. embedded content or links to external sites). We do not always have control over the accessibility of such content, but we will endeavour to choose partners and content that meet similar standards where possible.
4. Feedback and contact
We welcome your feedback. If you have difficulty using any part of our website, or if you have suggestions for how we could improve accessibility, please contact us:
- Email: [email protected]
- Phone: 01702 241 199
- Post: Beacon People Limited, 3 Caxton Road, Fulwood, Preston, PR2 9ZZ
We will do our best to respond promptly and to provide the information or service you need in an accessible way (e.g. by email, phone, or in an alternative format where reasonable).
5. Enforcement
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is responsible for enforcing the accessibility regulations in the UK. If you are not satisfied with our response, you can contact the EHRC (equalityhumanrights.com) for further information.
6. Updates
