ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

At Whitetree, we believe technology should remove barriers, not create them. Accessibility is not just about compliance for us — it is about fairness, inclusion, and making sure that everyone has the opportunity to engage on equal terms.

We are committed to building a culture where clients, colleagues and partners with disabilities are included as full members of our community. This means ensuring that the digital tools we use and the content we create are designed to meet people’s needs, so that everyone can participate and belong.

Our approach

We design and maintain whitetree.co.uk with accessibility in mind, guided by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines help us ensure our site works for as many people as possible. In practice, this means:

Using clear colour contrast, consistent headings and intuitive layouts.
Making sure pages can be used with different input devices, including screen readers and keyboard navigation.
Providing meaningful alternatives for non-text content, such as alt text for images and transcripts for videos.

Ongoing commitment

Accessibility is not a one-off project but an ongoing responsibility. We test our site regularly using automated tools, expert review and user feedback. As technology and standards evolve, we will continue to adapt and improve.

We know there may still be areas where we fall short. If you find something that doesn’t work for you, or if you have suggestions for improvement, please contact us at info@whitetree.co.uk.

Our ethos

Accessibility is part of our wider commitment to equality. Removing visible and invisible barriers is central to how we work, and to the culture we want to create. We believe that when everyone has the same opportunity to take part — whether as clients, colleagues or partners — we all benefit.

We will continue striving to make inclusion real in everything we do.
