Brilliant Book Awards Accessibility Statement
This website is run by Education Library Service/Inspire Culture, Learning and Libraries. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website.
For example, that means you should be able to:
- change colours, contrast levels and fonts
- zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
- navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
- navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
- listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)
How accessible this website is
We know some parts of this website aren’t fully accessible at the moment. We had our website audited external accessibility specialists, HeX Productions in 2019 to give our users an understanding of where they may experience issues.
Our website agency Rock, Kitchen, Harris made changes to improve our accessibility. Inspire staff are trained to ensure website content is accessible. We undertake regular reviews to ensure we are maintaining accessibility standards and are up to date with changes in requirements.

Enforcement procedure
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is responsible for enforcing The Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 (the ‘accessibility regulations’). If you’re not happy with how we respond to your complaint, contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS).
Technical information about this website’s accessibility
We are committed to making our website accessible, in accordance with The Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2)Accessibility Regulations 2018.
As part of this commitment, we had a full review of the website in 2019 and had fixes implemented. A further review is currently underway.
PDFs and other documents
The Public Sector Body Accessibility Regulations 2018 do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing our services.
Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.
Live video
Live video streams do not have captions. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.2.4 (captions, live).
We do not plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.
What we’re doing to improve accessibility
Firstly, as mentioned above, our website has undergone a full audit. This included using automated assessment tools, having it reviewed by accessibility specialists, and being assessed whilst using assistive technology (such as screen readers, voice navigation and keyboard navigation). We are continually reviewing the website and training staff as appropriate.
This statement was updated in January 2024. It will be reviewed on an ongoing basis and updated accordingly.
This Accessibility Statement was originally produced by HeX Productions in September 2019.
