Accessibility Statement
Effective Date: 13 July 2026
At PHV, we are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to all users, regardless of ability, technology, or circumstances. We believe that everyone should be able to access information, services, and digital content in a way that is inclusive, user-friendly, and respectful of individual needs.
This Accessibility Statement explains our commitment to accessibility, the measures we take to improve usability, and the ways users can contact us if they encounter accessibility barriers while using our website.
Our Commitment to Accessibility
We aim to make our website as accessible as possible for people with a wide range of abilities, including those who use assistive technologies such as screen readers, voice recognition software, screen magnifiers, alternative keyboards, and other accessibility tools.
In developing and maintaining our website, we strive to follow recognised accessibility standards and best practices, including the principles of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). These guidelines are designed to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities and improve usability for all visitors.
Accessibility is an ongoing priority, and we continually review our website to identify opportunities for improvement.
Measures We Have Taken
To support accessibility, we have implemented a variety of features and design practices, including:
Clear and consistent navigation throughout the website.
Logical page structures and headings to assist screen reader users.
Alternative text for meaningful images where appropriate.
Sufficient colour contrast between text and background elements.
Responsive design that supports different screen sizes and devices.
Keyboard-accessible functionality for key website features.
Readable fonts and clear content presentation.
Forms designed with labels and instructions to assist users.
Compatibility with commonly used assistive technologies and modern web browsers.
We recognise that accessibility needs vary, and we continue to improve our website to enhance the experience for all users.
Ongoing Improvements
Accessibility is not a one-time achievement but an ongoing process. We regularly assess our website's accessibility and seek to identify, remove, and prevent barriers that may affect users.
Our efforts may include:
Periodic accessibility reviews and testing.
Monitoring user feedback regarding accessibility concerns.
Updating website content and functionality to align with evolving standards.
Providing accessibility awareness and training for relevant team members.
Working with developers, designers, and content creators to promote inclusive digital practices.
Known Limitations
While we strive to ensure that all areas of our website are fully accessible, there may be occasions where certain content or functionality does not meet the needs of every user. This may occur due to legacy content, third-party integrations, or technical limitations.
We are committed to addressing identified issues wherever reasonably possible and within practical timeframes.
Third-Party Content
Some areas of our website may contain links to, or content provided by, third-party websites, applications, or services. While we encourage accessibility best practices among our partners, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third-party content that is outside our control.
