CNBC Film UK is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone, regardless of ability or technology. We continuously work to improve the user experience and apply relevant accessibility standards across cnbc.film.
1. Our Commitment
We believe that all people deserve equal access to information and digital services. CNBC Film UK is dedicated to making our website accessible to individuals with disabilities, including those with visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive impairments. We strive to meet the requirements of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA, as referenced in the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) Accessibility Regulations 2018 (SI 2018/952).
2. Conformance Status
We are actively working towards full WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance. At present, our website is partially conformant, meaning some content may not yet fully meet all accessibility requirements. We are committed to addressing any identified gaps as a matter of priority.
Known areas we are actively improving include:
- Ensuring all non-text media elements include appropriate text alternatives.
- Improving keyboard navigability across all interactive components.
- Enhancing colour contrast ratios across decorative and informational elements.
- Ensuring all form fields are clearly labelled for screen reader compatibility.
3. Technical Specifications
The accessibility of our website relies on the following technologies working in combination with your browser and any assistive technology you use:
- HTML5 (semantic markup)
- CSS3 (responsive and adaptable styles)
- JavaScript (progressive enhancement only — non-essential features degrade gracefully)
- WAI-ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes where applicable
Our website is designed to be compatible with modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge, and with common assistive technologies such as screen readers (e.g., NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver) and voice recognition software.
4. Measures We Take
CNBC Film UK takes the following measures to support accessibility:
- Using semantic HTML elements to provide meaningful structure to content.
- Providing visible focus indicators for keyboard navigation.
- Including descriptive
alttext on all meaningful images. - Ensuring sufficient colour contrast between foreground text and backgrounds.
- Providing a consistent and predictable navigation structure throughout the site.
- Avoiding content that flashes more than three times per second.
- Ensuring text can be resized up to 200% without loss of content or functionality.
5. Known Limitations
Despite our best efforts, some areas of the website may not yet fully conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. We are aware of the following limitations and are working to resolve them:
- Some background images may not provide sufficient contrast with overlaid text in all viewing conditions.
- Third-party embedded content (if any) may not meet the same accessibility standards as our own content.
- Some PDF documents or downloadable materials may not yet be fully accessible.
