Digital Accessibility Statement
Last updated: 2nd July 2025.
Philip Kingsley recognises the importance of providing a website that is accessible to all user groups, including the disabled, the visually impaired and those with motor deficiencies and cognitive disabilities.
This statement explains the accessibility features we have implemented to help you use our website. These updates help to improve navigation for screen readers, keyboard navigation and text-only browsers among other things.
General Information
We've made updates to this website with accessibility in mind. Some of these updates include:
- The use of clear, simple language which is easy to understand.
- Avoiding the use of blinking or flickering elements.
- The use of validated HTML, Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
Standards Compliance
We have worked to ensure our website conforms to level AA compliance as specified by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). In some cases the website provides enhanced features via JavaScript. Our goal is to provide equivalent functionality for users who are not able to use JavaScript and we are committed to continue working towards achieving this.
We use a number of tools to perform automated accessibility tests.
1. Background, Text and Colour
Our careful use of text colours, size and background colours can help people with a range of visual impairments. Here's what we've done:
1.1 Colours
We've checked the site's font and background colour to ensure there are limited combinations against the different colour blindness conditions and ensured that all information is still clear.
1.2 Font and Text Size
We've used clear, legible font for headings and body text. In the Firefox browser, select View, then Text Size, and then choose increase, or decrease.
2. Style Sheets (CSS)
This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout. Where possible, we've also made our website navigable, usable and readable if your browsing device does not support style sheets.
3. Non-text Elements
Where possible we have provided alternatives for non-text elements. We are committed to continue our work in this area.
4. Images, Videos and other Non-text elements
We've made it possible to use our site without having to view graphics or images. Non-text elements, such as images, animations, symbols, audio, video and multimedia have text equivalents. We've done this by providing descriptive alt attributes for them.
5. Links and Navigation
Structuring a website so it is simple and streamlined to use helps to improve the experience. For example, placing page items in a logical order and making the website easy to navigate.
6. Forms
Clearly labelled forms help readers to understand the content on a page and to fill in content into correct form fields.
