Website Accessibility for UK Digital & Media Organisations

Organisations in the digital and media sector need to provide accessible online content to ensure people can engage with information, services, and experiences. This is also supported by accessibility legislation such as the Equality Act 2010 and the European Accessibility Act

Regulatory Framework

Are there any Accessibility Regulations relating to the Digital and Media Sector?

For organisations in the digital and media sector, content must be accessible and understandable. In the UK, this is supported by legislation such as the Equality Act and the European Accessibility Act, alongside recognised standards like the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.

Align with WCAG 2.2 Level AA

Media websites and mobile applications are expected to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA. This standard is widely recognised around the world as a key reference point for accessible digital experiences.

Review and Improve Content That Doesn’t Meet the Standard

Organisations should regularly identify content that does not yet meet accessibility requirements and take steps to improve it. 

Maintain a Clear Accessibility Statement

An accessibility statement should be available and kept up to date. It needs to explain what has been assessed, outline current levels of accessibility, and highlight any areas still being worked on.

Take an Ongoing Approach to Accessibility

Accessibility involves a continuous process of reviewing, improving, and recording progress to support a more inclusive experience over time.

Respond to Regulatory Expectations

Organisations operating within the EU should be ready to meet the requirements of the European Accessibility Act. When feedback or concerns are raised, they should be addressed promptly.

Offer Alternative Access Where Needed

If some content cannot yet be made fully accessible, there should be other ways for people to access the information or complete the same tasks without unnecessary barriers.

How We Help

Accessibility Challenges for Technology Companies that Recite Me can Resolve

For organisations in the digital and media sector, creating accessible online content can involve a range of practical considerations. The points below highlight common focus areas and how Recite Me supports more inclusive digital experiences:

Digital and media platforms are used by people with different preferences and ways of engaging with content. Without the right support, some people may find it harder to read, watch, or interact with online content. The Recite Me Assistive Toolbar helps by offering text-to-speech, translation, and simple display changes, so people can choose how they experience content in a way that works for them.

Identifying where content or design may not work well for everyone can be complex, especially when working towards standards like WCAG 2.2 Level AA. The Recite Me Website Accessibility Checker helps highlight areas that may need attention, supporting ongoing improvements as digital platforms evolve.

People interacting with digital and media content may report barriers when accessing pages, videos, or interactive features. Having a clear way to review and respond to this feedback helps prioritise meaningful improvements. Recite Me supports organisations in reviewing issues and shaping practical next steps.

Digital and media content often includes reports, articles, PDFs, and other downloadable materials. These formats can sometimes be harder to use depending on how they are created. Recite Me tools help identify issues in documents and support updates that make content easier to navigate and understand.

Sharing what has been reviewed, improved, and is still being worked on helps build transparency with audiences. You can support this by regularly updating an accessibility statement. Recite Me provides guidance and tools to help organisations in the digital and media sector record and communicate their accessibility progress over time.

How Recite Me helps

Digital Media Accessibility FAQs

Accessibility helps ensure that more people can engage with content, services, and experiences without unnecessary barriers. It also supports better usability, broader audience reach, and clearer communication across digital platforms.

In the UK, accessibility is supported by the Equality Act 2010. Organisations operating in or serving the EU may also need to meet requirements set out in the European Accessibility Act.

While not all organisations are legally required to meet WCAG in the same way, aligning with WCAG 2.2 Level AA is widely considered best practice and helps support compliance with accessibility expectations.

All digital content should be considered, including webpages, videos, PDFs, reports, and interactive features. Ensuring accessibility across all formats supports a more consistent experience.
