Accessibility Statement
Organisation: Fortis Resilience, trading as Business Continuity Matters Ltd
Last Updated: 15 March 2026
Fortis Resilience, trading as Business Continuity Matters Ltd (“the Company”), is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including people with disabilities. We recognise the importance of providing accessible digital services and are committed to continually improving the accessibility and usability of our website and online content.
1. Legal and Regulatory Context
This statement reflects our commitment to supporting accessibility in line with the principles of the Equality Act 2010. The Act requires organisations to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that disabled people are not placed at a substantial disadvantage when accessing services, including digital services.
Although private sector organisations are not always subject to the same specific digital accessibility regulations that apply to public sector bodies, we recognise the importance of aligning with recognised accessibility standards and good practice.
2. Accessibility Standards
We aim to design and maintain our website in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These internationally recognised guidelines provide a framework for making web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.
WCAG is built on four core accessibility principles: content should be perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust.
3. Accessibility Measures
To support accessibility, we aim to:
-
Use clear and consistent navigation structures
-
Provide alternative text descriptions for images and non-text content
-
Maintain appropriate colour contrast to support readability
-
Ensure compatibility with screen readers and assistive technologies
-
Enable keyboard navigation wherever reasonably practicable
-
Use clear typography and accessible page layouts
-
4. Ongoing Accessibility Improvements
Accessibility is an ongoing process. We periodically review our website and digital content to identify potential improvements and to ensure that accessibility considerations are incorporated into future development and updates.
5. Known Limitations
While we strive to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards wherever reasonably possible, some areas of the website may not yet fully conform. We are committed to identifying and addressing accessibility issues as part of our continuous improvement process.
6. Feedback and Contact Information
If you encounter any accessibility barriers when using our website, or if you require information in an alternative format, please contact us. We welcome feedback and will make reasonable efforts to address accessibility concerns.
