The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is responsible for enforcing the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 (the ‘accessibility regulations’).

The UKMBA is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances and exemptions.
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
Not all of our images have suitable text alternatives and where there is alt text, it is not always suitable. This fails SC 1.1.1: Non-text Content and is something we will aim to improve on with all new content whilst correcting older content/images.
Currently the sites core theme has no landmarks, which makes it impossible to navigate in this manner and impossible to bypass menu info with a ‘skip to content’. This fails SC 2.4.1: Bypass Blocks. We will look at how to best implement the landmarks in the next significant round of developer updates.
Many of the links on the site have been poorly created in terms of how they might work with assistive technology. Terms such as ‘click here’ or similar have often been used. These fail SC 2.4.4: Link Purpose (In Context).
The majority of the PDFs on the site were created before 2018 and do not have a wide readership. We believe that they site outside of the regulations.
This statement was prepared on 7 February 2023.
This website was last tested on 7 February 2023. The test was carried out in house by the LGA.
We tested key landing pages and templates using the Axe Extension for Chrome and the Simplified Testing method used by the UK Government.
This website was based on a design by Themes and Co.
