Web Accessibility Statement

Michael Page is committed to making our website accessible to persons with disabilities and users with special needs, including those with visual, hearing and cognitive impairments.

We aim to make this website adhere to Priority 1 and 2 under the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, which are of Level AA conformance. The site was built in consultation with AbilityNet. AbilityNet was formed in 1998 from the merger of two organisations, the Computability Centre, and the Foundation for Communication for the Disabled in the UK, AbilityNet is a charity organisation that aims to help people with any disability to use computer technology.

If you cannot access any part of our site or upload your CV, please email [email protected] for assistance and support.

We thank you for your assistance in enhancing the accessibility of our website and we look forward to serving your recruitment and employment needs.

Recite Me Web Accessibility and Language Toolbar

We have added the Recite Me web accessibility and language toolbar to our website to make it accessible and inclusive for as many people as possible.

  • Read website text aloud
  • Download the text as an MP3 file to play it where and when it suits you

  • Customise background colours
  • Translate text into more than 100 different languages

Links

Many links have title attributes which describe the link in greater detail. In the majority of cases, the text of the link already fully describes the target. Wherever possible, links are written to make sense out of context. Many browsers (such as JAWS, Home Page Reader, Lynx and Opera) can extract the list of links on a page and allow you to browse the links separately from the page.

PDFs

We have tried to minimise the number of PDFs on the site. Where they appear, they are accompanied by a link to the Adobe site where you can download free Acrobat Reader software, allowing you to view these documents. Adobe has recently updated its free reader to include screen reading functionality.

Help with finding content

We have provided a site map for visitors. Links to our policies, including our Privacy Statement, our Terms & Conditions, and this Accessibility Statement, appear at the bottom of every page.

Images

Decorative and functional images feature null ALT attributes. Other images on the site include descriptive ALT attributes.

Colour

Foreground and background colours contrast well throughout the site, with most content appearing black on white. Colour is never used as the sole method of grouping data.

Layout

The site is free of frames and uses a cascading style sheet for visual layout. Tables are used for tabular data only. The stylesheet uses relative font sizes and is written to display pages correctly in commonly-used browsers. In early versions of browsers and browsing devices that do not support stylesheets, the content flow has been tested to ensure it entirely retains its sense.

Language

We strive to use accessible language to make this website easy to read and understand.
