Accessibility statement

The APM website is designed so everyone can use it. We keep checking and improving the site to make sure it meets accessibility standards.

 

What We Do to Support Accessibility

  • All web content aims to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA standards.
  • We include people with disability in our design and testing.
  • Our content team gets regular training on accessibility.
  • We have people with disability test our website.


Our Accessibility Goal

We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). These guidelines help make websites easier for people with disability. There are three levels: A, AA, and AAA.

APM aims for Level AA. This means our site should be:

  • Perceivable – Easy to see and hear.
  • Operable – Easy to use.
  • Understandable – Easy to understand.
  • Robust – Works with assistive technology.


Current Status

As of 5 January 2026, our site is:

  • 99.3% accessible (industry average: 85.83%)
  • Level A: 31 of 32 checks passed
  • Level AA: 3 of 5 checks passed
    (Checked and monitored by Acquia)
