Grantown Open Studios is committed to accessibility, equity, and inclusion for all.
We strive to ensure that our website is accessible to everyone, regardless of ability, and are actively working to improve the user experience for all visitors. This is part of our wider commitment to diversity, equality, and the principles outlined in the UK Equality Act 2010.
Conformance status
Our goal is to meet the internationally recognised Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA standard. These guidelines help ensure that digital content is accessible to people with a wide range of physical, sensory, and cognitive impairments.
While we believe in the moral and social importance of making our digital spaces inclusive, we also recognise that some areas of our website may not yet fully conform to the highest standards. This may be due to technical constraints or limitations in currently available solutions. We are continuously reviewing and improving these areas as part of our ongoing digital development.
What We’re Doing
- Regular reviews of website content and structure
- Consultation with developers to address accessibility issues
- Planning future audits and improvements based on user feedback
Known Accessibility Limitations
- Some images may lack alternative (alt) text
- Certain older PDFs may not be fully accessible to screen readers

If you encounter any issues, we want to hear from you.
