Accessibility statement

Using this website

This accessibility statement applies to the chelseaheritagequarter.co.uk website.

This website is run by the National Army Museum on behalf of the Chelsea Heritage Quarter, until such time that the latter is an independently recognised, formal entity.

We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • change colours, contrast levels and fonts using browser or device settings;
  • zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen;
  • navigate most of the website using a keyboard or speech recognition software;
  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver).

We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

Non-accessible content

We are aware that the following content is not fully accessible.

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

Some images are missing alt text. This fails to comply with WCAG 2.2 success criterion 1.1.1 (Non-text Content). Audit and remedial action is due for completion in Autumn 2024. Newly published images will meet accessibility standards.

Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations

PDFs and other documents

Some of our PDFs are not accessible. However, they’re not essential to providing our services and, as they were originally published before 23 September 2018, the accessibility regulations do not require us to fix them.

Any new PDFs we publish will meet accessibility standards.
