Stephensons Solicitors LLP is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology, ability or circumstance.
We are continually working to improve the accessibility and usability of our website and to provide an inclusive digital experience for all visitors.
Our approach to accessibility
We aim to make our website as accessible as possible by following recognised accessibility standards and best practice guidance. Accessibility is considered as part of our ongoing website development, content management and digital improvement processes.
The website includes a range of features designed to support accessibility, including:
- Clear navigation and page structure
- Keyboard-accessible functionality
- Responsive layouts for mobile, tablet and desktop devices
- Alternative text for many images
- Resizable text using browser controls
- Compatibility with commonly used screen readers and assistive technologies
- Consistent design and content structure
Accessibility tools
This website provides access to the UserWay Accessibility Widget, which offers a range of tools to help users customise their browsing experience. These features may assist users with visual, cognitive and other accessibility needs.
The accessibility menu can be activated by selecting the accessibility icon displayed on the website.
Compliance status
We are committed to working towards compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA and are continually reviewing and improving the accessibility of our website. The website is regularly monitored and reviewed to identify areas where improvements can be made.
Whilst we strive to ensure all content is accessible, we recognise that some areas of the website may not yet fully meet accessibility standards.
Known limitations
Despite our ongoing efforts, some content may not yet be fully accessible. Examples may include:
- Older PDF documents that were published before current accessibility standards were adopted
- Third-party content or embedded services that are outside our direct control
- Certain legacy website pages and documents that are awaiting review or remediation
We are committed to addressing accessibility issues where identified and to making reasonable improvements over time.
