RNIB for Business - Benefits

Ensuring your business meets its obligations

With the assistance of our experts, we can ensure your business’s communications are comprehendible to blind and partially sighted people, in line with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and the European Accessibility Act, which will come into effect on 28 June 2025.

Accessibility – it’s good business sense

With the assistance of our experts, we can ensure you’re able to effectively connect with the two million people in the UK who are living with sight loss, a number that is set to double by 2050.

We can guide you on the changes needed to deliver communications and marketing that are more accessible and inclusive. Our experts will audit your existing digital journeys and provide recommendations that will help you to make your web and mobile apps fully accessible to blind and visually impaired audiences, in accordance with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2. Recommendations that will also prepare you for The European Accessibility Act which comes into effect on 28 June 2025 and mandates compliance with accessibility requirements for people with disabilities.

If you’re a financial organisation with Consumer Duty obligations, we can ensure your products and services meet the needs of all customers and are accessible to people with sight loss.

For more tangible, day-to-day interactions, our employee training empowers your staff so they understand the needs of blind and partially sighted people and enables them to offer improved support. Additionally, if you’re interested in making your organisation truly inclusive, this guidance can be extended and tailored to your products, services and operations through our consultancy services.

Accessibility that works for everyone

By making your business accessible to people with sight loss, you are demonstrating your social responsibility, attracting diverse talent, and reducing potential legal risks. Ultimately, creating a more equitable environment, driving innovation and growth, while meeting regulatory standards.
