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').

Technical information about this website's accessibility

Wick Wax & Relax is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.

Some images do not have a text alternative, so people using a screen reader cannot access the information. This fails WCAG 1.1.1 (Non-text Content).

Some video content does not have captions or transcripts, so people using a screen reader cannot access the information. This fails WCAG 1.2.2 (Captions) and WCAG 1.2.4 (Audio Description).

Some PDF documents are not fully accessible to screen reader software. This fails WCAG 1.4.2 (Audio Control).

We believe that fixing some accessibility issues would be a disproportionate burden within the meaning of the accessibility regulations. We will make another assessment when we next update the website.

The following content is not within the scope of the accessibility regulations:

  • Pre-recorded audio and video published before 23 September 2020
  • PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018, unless they're essential to providing our services
  • Third-party content that we don't fund or control
  • Archived content that's not needed for services we provide
