bdht - building excellent communities with passion and pride

Accessibility

bdht will ensure that its media is accessible to people who have visual, hearing, motor or cognitive impairments.
 
Accessibility is a partnership between site producers like bdht and the creators of the operating system, browser and specialist assistive technologies which many disabled users employ to allow them, for example, to view websites in easier-to-read colours, with larger fonts, or as spoken text.
 
As such technologies have become more available and sophisticated, bdht will ensure that its media works well with these assistive technologies to ensure an accessible experience for disabled users.
 
bdht will also work with those in the wider accessibility community to support the future development of these technologies and the standards that allow all websites to be created to work best with them.
 
In those instances where the specific accessibility needs of some disabled user groups require us to create new or re-purposed editorial content, we will do this, wherever appropriate, so that we become more inclusive to a wider audience online.
 
The bdht site complies with the growing body of Accessibility Standards across commissioning, editorial, design & coding.
