Our Brief

As the UK’s national fire safety organisation, the FPA provides comprehensive guidance, practical advice and technical content to more than 230,000 website visitors each year.

Following a digital transformation of its Fire & Risk Management Journal, focused on making long-form content more accessible and user-friendly, the FPA wanted to build on this work across its wider website.

With an estimated one in four people facing challenges online, the FPA wanted to make sure members, customers and website visitors could access and engage with fire safety information in a way that works for them.

Our Solution

The FPA chose the Recite Me Assistive Toolbar because its range of features matched what the organisation was looking for.

Screen reading, reading aids and styling options help members access detailed technical and editorial content in a way that suits their needs.

In the first six months, visitors have used a range of features to make content easier to access, including translation, colour and font options, and text-to-speech. The Toolbar is being used across key areas of the website, from membership and training to advice, guidance and the Fire & Risk Management Journal.
