Accessibility

Rathbones Group Plc recognise the importance of providing a website that is inclusive and available for all user groups. This page explains:

  • our approach to making this website accessible, including what we have done and will do in the future;
  • the facilities that we have provided for different accessibility needs;
  • guidance on how to use particular features;
  • what to do if you have any questions or feedback for us.

Approach

We believe the web pages on the site are, as a minimum, in line with all of the priority level 1 criteria of World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C’s) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, details of which can be found here. 

Screen reader / voice browser / screen magnifier users

Our navigation mechanisms are accessible by screen readers and voice browsers.

Text equivalents of all images have been provided and the relevant page and table header tags inserted. Alternative mechanisms have been provided where JavaScript is used within the site.

Partially sighted users - changing the font size

If you are using a browser on a PC (e.g. Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox or Safari) you can press "CTRL +" to increase the size of the site or "CTRL -" to decrease the size of the site.

If you are using a browser on a Mac you can press "⌘ +" and "⌘ -".

Colour-blind users

We have checked the site font and background colour combinations for the different colour-blindness conditions and ensured that items are not referenced by colour alone. Should you wish to change the colour of text and background by introducing your own style sheet, please follow the instructions in changing the style sheet.

Keyboard-only users

The web pages on the site have been tested for use in keyboard-only operation. When using the forms or controls for the tools, the keys to use are as follows:

  • To select from dropdown boxes, use up and down arrow keys;
  • To select/unselect a check box, use the space bar;
  • To move forward between links, use the tab key;
  • To move back between links, use the Shift + tab keys;
  • To initiate an action button, use the Enter key when the action button is selected.
