We use the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 to improve the accessibility of our pages. There are 3 levels of accessibility: A, AA and AAA. We work towards being AA compliant. At present we have partially met these criteria and continue to work towards achieving full AA across the site. This website is run by the British Film Institute (BFI). We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to: change colours, contrast levels and fonts via browser or plugin zoom in up to 500% without the text spilling off the screen navigate most of the website using just a keyboard navigate most of the website using speech recognition software listen to most of the website using a screen reader including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver. We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand. AbilityNet has more information about how to make your computer, laptop, tablet or mobile easier to use.

Technical information about this website’s accessibility The BFI is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018. Compliance status This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below. Non-accessible content The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons. Our pre-recorded video content lacks audio description or media alternatives. This does not comply with WCAG Level A 2.1: 1.2.3 Audio Description or Media Alternative (Pre-Recorded) Some of our pre-recorded videos lack synchronised captions. This does not comply with WCAG Level A 2.1: 1.2.2 Captions (Pre-Recorded) Some of our PDFs and Word documents do not meet standards by lacking alternative text. This does not comply with WCAG Level A 2.1: 1.1.1 Non-Text Content We do not have a search function or available site map. This does not comply with WCAG Level AA 2.1: 2.4.5 Multiple Ways to navigate Some of our imagery may contain inappropriate alternative attributes. This does not comply with WCAG Level A 2.1: 1.1.1 Non-Text Content A user is unable to tab to the article tiles with macOS Voiceover. This does not comply with WCAG Level A 2.1: 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value The image credit/caption icon on hero images sometimes doesn’t have a visible focus indicator when selected through keyboard controls on some pages. This does not comply with WCAG Level AA 2.1: 2.4.7 Focus Visible When navigating pages with Dragon Naturally Speaking, a user is unable to expand the navigation menu dropdowns with any known voice commands. This does not comply with WCAG Level A 2.1: 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value Currently a user is tabbed to the ‘’ twice before reaching the main page when using the Android Talkback screen reader. This does not comply with WCAG Level A 2.1: 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value Some of our enquiry services are difficult to navigate using a screen reader due to some actions not being announced correctly. This does not comply with WCAG Level A 2.1: 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value. Some of these forms are built and hosted through third-party software. We plan to have updated these to an accessible version within our own website by March 2022 On our Make a Donation website, users aren’t able to use keyboard controls to access the the ‘?’ icon next to ‘CSC’ field. This opens information about card security codes. This does not comply with WCAG 2.1.1 Keyboard. This website is due to be retired and replaced with an accessible alternative by 2022. Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations PDFs and other documents Some of our PDFs and Word documents are essential to providing our services. For example, we have PDFs with information on how users can access our services, and forms published as Word documents. By December 2021, we plan to either fix these or replace them with accessible HTML pages. The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing our services. Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards. Live video We do not plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations. What we’re doing to improve accessibility We’re continuing to work with our accessibility partner Zoonou, running regular accessibility testing of our website and routinely addressing issues that occur.
