Website Accessibility Statement

Website accessibility statement for United National Photographers (UNP) covering the main website at unp.co.uk. UNP is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to the widest possible audience. We want every visitor — including those using assistive technologies — to be able to navigate, read and understand our content easily and confidently on every device.

This document explains how we approach **digital accessibility** at UNP, the standards we are working towards and the steps we are taking to make our online photography services, case studies and information easier to use for everyone.

About this statement

We aim to meet or exceed the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA level across all key templates and components on the UNP website. **Digital accessibility** is an ongoing process: we treat it as part of our day-to-day website maintenance and not a one-off project.

As the UNP website evolves — for example when we add new services, case studies or photography examples — we review new content and layouts against **these standards** to keep the experience as inclusive as possible.

What we are doing

To improve **website accessibility** and the usability of our photography services online, we are committed to:

• We maintain a **clear and logical structure** for all pages, ensuring headings and **labelling** follow a consistent information hierarchy to aid navigation.
• We ensure **high colour contrast** ratios between all text and background elements, meeting WCAG minimums to support users with low vision.
• We provide **meaningful and descriptive link text** (for example, “Book a photographer”) rather than generic or vague phrases like “Click here” or “Read more.”
• All imagery and graphical elements, including our extensive portfolio of **press and corporate photography**, carry **descriptive alt-text** to convey their purpose and content to screen reader users.
• Supporting keyboard navigation throughout the site, ensuring all interactive elements can be reached and activated without a mouse.
• Ensuring form fields have visible labels, clear error messaging and valid focus states for efficient data entry.

Wherever possible, new features on the UNP website are designed with **accessibility** in mind from the start, so that visitors using screen readers, magnifiers or keyboard navigation can still access the same information about our press, PR and corporate photography services.

Compatibility

The UNP website works with current versions of major browsers, including Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge, and is designed to be usable with screen readers, browser zoom, high-contrast modes and keyboard-only navigation.

Our goal is that this **accessibility statement** remains accurate as technology changes, so we periodically test the site on different operating systems and device types to make sure core pages remain usable.

Known limitations

Despite our best efforts, some older posts or historical uploads may lack full **accessibility** features. For example, some legacy images may not yet have complete alt-text, and some older PDFs may not be fully tagged for screen readers. We are continually improving these areas as part of our ongoing content updates.

If you find a part of the UNP website that does not meet the expectations set out in this **statement**, please let us know so we can **prioritise** fixing it.

How we test accessibility

We routinely check our website using automated tools and manual review, including screen readers, keyboard-only navigation and contrast analysis. These checks help us identify issues early and ensure that new content aims to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards.

You can read more about the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA on the W3C website and about the UK public sector **accessibility** regulations on GOV.UK .

Preparation of this statement

This **website accessibility statement** was prepared on **9 December 2025** and will be reviewed periodically as we update the UNP website and introduce new features or content.

We see this statement as a living document. As our website, design system and online services evolve, we will continue to refine our approach so that **UNP remains as inclusive and accessible as possible** for visitors, clients and partners.
