2/ Our Website

Accessibility plugins and widgets are not used on this website because evidence shows they frequently interfere with screen reader behaviour, create new accessibility barriers, and deliver a frustrating user experience for those who rely on assistive technologies.

These widgets may override or clash with users’ own screen readers—sometimes prompting users to disable their familiar, highly-configurable tools in favour of simplistic, built-in alternatives, or causing “competing” speech output, confusion, and poor usability.

Research and direct user feedback make clear that true accessibility should be integrated into the site’s code and design, rather than added via plugins or overlays.

We have tried to make this website as Screen-Reader friendly as possible however are always keen to get your feedback. You can do so by contacting us at info@beaconfilms.org.uk
