How accessible this site is.

Our target

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. Every page will be checked with automated tools before the site goes live. Automated checks catch only part of the picture, so we do not claim full conformance until the site has also been tested by people.

What we build to

• Headings and landmarks in a logical order, so screen readers and reading modes follow the same route through a page as everyone else.
• Text that resizes. Browser zoom and larger text settings should work without content being cut off.
• Contrast designed to meet AA ratios for text and controls.
• Keyboard access. Every link, button and form field can be reached and used without a mouse, with a visible focus outline.
• Nothing moves on its own. No carousels and no auto-playing video or sound.
• Films that load only when you press play, with captions where we have them.
• Plain language. Short sentences, and screen-industry terms explained where they first appear.
• Phone numbers on Get help now as real text and tap-to-call links.
• An alternative to every form. Anything you can do through a form, you can do by email.

What we know is not right yet

• Testing with disabled people. Nobody has yet tested this site for us with a screen reader, switch, voice control or magnification. We plan to, and we will pay testers for their time.
• Image descriptions. Photography is still being added. Every photo will carry alternative text written with its caption and credit.
• Captions. Some older films do not have captions yet. Instructional films are captioned first.
• Documents. Some downloadable PDFs have not been checked for tagging and reading order. Ask and we will send the same information in another format.
• Other people's content. Film players and any third-party tools we link to are built by others. We choose accessible ones where we can.

This list is what we know today. Telling us about something not listed here is useful.

Report a problem or ask for another format

Email [email protected] with "Accessibility" in the subject line. Tell us the page and what happened; you do not need to know which guideline it breaks. We will:

• send you the information in a format that works for you, such as plain text, large print or audio;
• acknowledge your report within 5 working days and tell you who is dealing with it;
• tell you when it is fixed, or why it cannot be fixed quickly and what we will do instead.

The legal position

As a service provider, Futures in Film CIC has a duty under the Equality Act 2010 to make reasonable adjustments for disabled people. The Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018 apply to public bodies, and we are not one. We have adopted WCAG 2.2 AA anyway, because it is the right standard.

If you are not satisfied with our reply, use our complaints procedure. You can also contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service, which is independent of us.

About this statement

This statement was prepared on 8 November 2026 for the rebuilt site, and it will be reviewed when the site goes live and at least once a year after that.
