Commitment to accessibility

Brown Shipley & Co Limited is committed to providing a website that is accessible and usable for as many people as possible.

We recognise the importance of digital accessibility and aim to ensure that our online services are inclusive and usable by individuals with a wide range of abilities, technologies and environments.

Scope

This statement applies to the public website: brownshipley.com

The website provides information about Brown Shipley’s private banking, investment management, wealth planning and lending services. Users can browse content, access insights and publications, and contact us through online forms.

Secure client services, including online platforms such as My Brown Shipley, are delivered via separate systems and are not fully covered by this statement.

Our approach to accessibility

Brown Shipley seeks to design and maintain its website in a way that supports accessibility and usability for all users.

In particular, the website has been developed with the following principles in mind:

Consistent navigation across pages

  • Use of clear and readable fonts, with adjustable sizing through browser settings
  • Provision of alternative text for non-decorative images
  • Use of descriptive links that make sense out of context
  • Avoidance of design elements that may limit accessibility (such as frames)
  • Colour schemes designed to support readability
  • Ensuring that colour is not relied upon as the sole means of conveying information
The site is built using standard web technologies (including HTML, CSS and JavaScript), allowing compatibility with a wide range of browsers and assistive technologies.

Accessibility standards

While there is no single prescribed standard for private sector organisations in the UK, accessibility expectations are commonly aligned with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Level AA.

Brown Shipley aims to consider these guidelines as part of its ongoing development and continuous improvement approach.

Limitations and ongoing improvements

We are aware that some areas of the website may not be fully accessible. These may include:

  • Certain downloadable documents (such as PDFs)
  • Legacy or older content
  • Some multimedia or interactive elements
We are committed to reviewing and improving accessibility over time as part of our ongoing digital development and maintenance processes.
