Accessibility

It is the policy of the British Museum to make reasonable adjustments in order to make all web-based information, services and learning resources on the Museum's website accessible to all users regardless of disability. The Museum requires that all new web content conforms to W3C/WAI's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0, Conformance Level "Double-A". Web content on legacy sites might not currently conform to these standards, and part of any plan to update these will bring them to a higher level of accessibility. Any third party contracted to design a website hosted by the Museum will also be required to comply with these guidelines.

We are aware that there are some areas of the site where have not met these standards. In the cases where these are known to us, we are committed to improving these over time. However, there may be some areas where we are not aware that there is a barrier to accessibility. We welcome enquiries, comments and suggestions regarding the accessibility of our site. Please email the web team at web@thebritishmuseum.ac.uk.

We will review this policy in the future to consider updating our conformance to an advanced version of the W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines once available.
