Our commitment
We want the James Taylor Electric Violinist website and enquiry process to be usable by as many people as reasonably possible, including people who use a keyboard, screen reader, screen magnification, voice input, reduced-motion settings or other assistive technology.
Accessibility is treated as an ongoing part of maintaining the site rather than a one-off exercise. If something prevents you from getting the information you need or making an enquiry, please contact us and we will try to provide a practical alternative.
Our accessibility target
Our working target is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA where reasonably practicable.
This is a target, not a formal conformance claim. The site has received an internal review, but it has not yet been through a full independent WCAG 2.2 AA audit.
What we have done
The site provides text-based contact options as an alternative to forms and interactive services. Its own enquiry fields have visible labels, and the principal content uses headings and image descriptions.
The legal and policy pages provide a skip link, a readable document column, a full contents list, keyboard-visible focus, reduced-motion-aware section navigation and a print layout. On a smaller screen the contents list can be expanded without hiding the document itself.
Interactive features include cookie preferences, Listen playback controls, gallery category filters and a lightbox, pagination and the Credentials request journey. These features need continued keyboard and assistive-technology testing as the site changes; listing them here is not a claim that every combination has been verified.
Known limitations
A full site-wide accessibility audit has not been completed. In particular:
- the Cloudflare Turnstile form-security check and other third-party interfaces may behave differently with different browsers and assistive technologies;
- the interactive Performance Map is not the only way to find venue information: the venue list and direct contact are alternatives;
- audio-only musical examples cannot replace a written description of the intended repertoire or arrangement; contact us for help selecting music without relying on playback;
- downloadable booking or Credentials documents may not have the same structure or assistive-technology support as HTML or plain text;
- external venue, supplier and social-media websites have their own accessibility arrangements; and
- screen-reader, voice-control and real-device coverage of the newer gallery, player, filters and request forms remains incomplete.
Please report a barrier rather than assuming that you must use the affected feature. We can discuss an alternative way to obtain information or complete a booking.
Help, alternative formats and reasonable adjustments
If you cannot use part of the website, need information in a different format, or need an adjustment to the enquiry or booking process, contact us and explain what you are trying to access and what would help.
Examples could include providing information in plain text by email, discussing the booking by telephone instead of using an online form, or working with you on another reasonable way to complete the enquiry or booking process.
Accessibility arrangements for a live performance may also depend on the venue and the nature of the event, so please raise any relevant requirements as early as reasonably possible.
Assessment status
This statement was updated on 10 September 2026 as part of the legal-page rebuild. The assessment scope for this release is the supplied site code and local tests of the five legal and policy layouts, their navigation, keyboard focus, reduced-motion behaviour and print presentation.
This is not an independent audit, a production-host certification or a full assessment of every page against WCAG 2.2 AA. Real assistive-technology testing, third-party behaviour and the complete booking journey require continuing review. We do not claim full conformance.
Accessibility feedback

Please include the page or feature, what you were trying to do and the alternative that would help. Browser or assistive-technology details are useful but optional; you do not need to disclose a diagnosis. We will consider the request and agree a practical next step with you.
UK accessibility context
James Taylor Electric Violinist provides services in the United Kingdom. The Equality Act 2010 includes duties relating to disability discrimination and reasonable adjustments for service providers. This statement explains our website accessibility approach and contact route; it is not a substitute for individual consideration of an adjustment request.
Reviewing this statement
We will review this statement when significant website changes are made, when important third-party components change, after substantial accessibility work, or following a formal accessibility review.
