Website consultancy for Amnesty International UK


We are currently working with Amnesty International UK to improve the accessibility compliance of their website www.amnesty.org.uk.

Susie Wright, of Amnesty International’s UK office, said: "The Amnesty International UK website is one of the main ways that people can find out about our organisation: about what we have to say about human rights abuses worldwide and how they can take action to protect people throughout the world and make a difference. We want as many people as possible to be able to access this information, so accessibility is at the forefront of all our web development planning. The team at Kiosk have been helping us to plan and implement a higher level of accessibility on our website, to ensure that we meet World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standards."

Kiosk's creative director, Dave Holden, who is leading the project added: "We're really pleased to be working with the Amnesty International UK team. Their website is a vital communication tool, so it is important that the broadest possible audience can access the content within the site."

Recent research by City University and the Disability Rights Commission [DRC] found that 81% of websites tested failed to reach the minimum standards for accessibility.
