Accessibility Statement

 1. Our commitment ​

​​

LEGS wants everyone to be able to use www.legs.org.uk. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA and to comply with the Equality Act 2010. 

 

 2. What we’re doing

 

To reach WCAG 2.2 AA we are: 

  • providing text alternatives (‘alt text’) for non-text content 

  • providing transcripts for audio and video 

  • providing captions for video 

  • making sure content is structured logically and can be navigated and read by a screen reader - this also helps if stylesheets are disabled 

  • using the proper markup for every feature (for example, forms and data tables), so the relationships between content are defined properly 

  • not using colour as the only way to explain or distinguish something 

  • using text colours that show up clearly against the background colour 

  • Making sure every feature can be used when text size is increased by 200% and that content reflows to a single column when it’s increased by 400% 

  • not using images of text 

  • making sure our service is responsive - for example to the user’s device, page orientation and font size they like to use 

  • making sure your service works well with assistive technologies - for example, important messages are marked up in a way that the screen readers know they’re important 

 

 3. How accessible this website is 

 

We know some parts are not fully accessible yet: 

  • Older PDFs and Word documents may not meet tagging or navigation standards. 

  • The hierarchy of the site needs improvement 

  • We need to test the accessibility on different devices and with different readers 

 

We plan to fix these by July 2026 and will update this statement as we make progress. 

 

 4. If you need information in a different format 

 

Email info@legs.org.uk or call 07471 210 359 and tell us: 

  • The content you need 

  • The format you’d like  

 

We’ll respond as quickly as possible and do our best to help. 

 

 5. Reporting accessibility problems 

 

Found a problem not listed above? Please let us know so we can put it right. 

 

We review this statement every 12 months or whenever we make major changes to the website.
