Accessibility Statement

Last updated: 14 September 2026

What this covers

This statement applies to this website. I want it to be usable by as many people as possible, including anyone using a screen reader, keyboard navigation, magnification, or browsing with text enlarged.

How accessible this site is

This site aims to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA where it is reasonably practical to do so. It is a small portfolio site built on the Squarespace platform.

I want to be straightforward about the limits of that:

  • The site has not been independently audited for accessibility, and I am not claiming full conformance.

  • Parts of the underlying platform and its templates are outside my control, and some behaviours may not fully meet the guidelines.

  • Some content includes images of production and promotional material where the text in the image may not be repeated in the surrounding page.

If you find something you cannot use, I would genuinely rather know than not.

What has been done

  • Text and background colours chosen for legible contrast

  • The site works when navigated by keyboard alone

  • Headings used in a logical order so the structure makes sense to a screen reader

  • Text resizes without content being lost or overlapping

  • The layout adapts to small screens and to magnified views

If something does not work for you

Email emily@emilyjacobs.co.uk with the page and what went wrong, and I will do what I reasonably can to fix it or to get you the information another way — including sending content in a different format if that helps.

I aim to reply within five working days.

A note on the law

There is no general legal requirement for a private individual's website in the UK to meet a specific accessibility standard — the public-sector accessibility regulations do not apply here. The Equality Act 2010 does require reasonable adjustments so that disabled people are not put at a substantial disadvantage, and that is the standard I am trying to meet. This statement is published because it is the right thing to do, not because a regulator requires it.
