Accessibility Statement

This statement applies to www.strategicaccessconsulting.com. We want everyone to be able to use this website.

Our commitment

Strategic Access Consulting is the trading name of Strategic Access Advisory Limited, which is committed to making this website accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, which is the standard recognised by the Equality and Human Rights Commission as meeting the reasonable adjustment duty under the Equality Act 2010.

We review this site regularly. If you find something that isn't accessible, please tell us and we'll do our best to fix it or provide an alternative.

Current compliance status

This website is partially compliant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. The issues we're aware of are listed below.

Known issues

We've identified the following accessibility issues and are working to resolve them:

Colour contrast

Some text on dark backgrounds uses reduced opacity, which may not meet the 4.5:1 contrast ratio required under WCAG 1.4.3. This affects secondary text in certain sections. We're replacing opacity-based colours with fixed accessible values.

Mobile navigation keyboard access

The mobile navigation menu communicates its open/closed state via aria-expanded, but we are continuing to test the full keyboard experience and ARIA state attributes with assistive technology.

Focus indicators

Visible focus indicators are present on the main navigation and key interactive elements. We are reviewing consistency across every interactive element and adding focus styles where they are still thin.

External links opening in new tabs

Some external links open in a new browser tab. Links that open in a new tab include a visually hidden 'opens in a new tab' note for screen reader users. We are reviewing the remaining links for consistency.

Contact form feedback

The contact form announces submission results to screen readers via an aria-live region. We continue to test this with assistive technology.

What's working

The site has a correct language attribute set, so screen readers use the right speech engine.
All pages have unique, descriptive page titles.
A 'skip to main content' link is present on every page, letting keyboard users bypass the header navigation.
Headings follow a logical hierarchy on every page.
All form fields on the contact page have properly associated labels.
The site is fully responsive and works on mobile devices.
Interactive icon buttons have accessible names via aria-label.
External links include security attributes to prevent opener vulnerabilities.

Having difficulty? Get in touch.

If you encounter a barrier on this website, we want to know. We can also provide information in an alternative format if the standard website version isn't working for you.

Email us at [email protected] and we'll respond within 5 working days. Please describe what you were trying to do and what went wrong, or what format you'd find more accessible.

If you're not satisfied with our response, you can contact the Equality and Human Rights Commission (opens in a new tab).

Technical information

This website is built using Next.js and Tailwind CSS and is served as a static site. It's been tested with keyboard navigation and reviewed against WCAG 2.1 criteria. We haven't yet completed full testing with assistive technologies such as NVDA, JAWS, or VoiceOver, and we're planning to do that as part of our ongoing improvement work.
