Accessibility

Updated 22 April 2025.

This accessibility statement applies to the BAFTA website, bafta.org. This website is run by BAFTA.

We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • change colours, contrast levels and fonts using browser or device settings
  • zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate most of the website using a keyboard or speech recognition software
  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

 

We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

How accessible this website is

We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible:

  • There are decorative images present which are discoverable by screen reader users.
  • There are images present that do not have a text alternative.
  •  There is an iFrame present without an accessible name which makes its purpose unclear to screen reader users.
  • There is multimedia present which does not have an audio description or transcript.
  • The view in Cymraeg button does not have the appropriate language set.
  • The play button on the ‘about’ page video does not function when magnified to 400%.

What we’re doing to improve accessibility
