RX’s Accessibility Statement

RX is committed to ensuring our content and website(s) (“Services”) are accessible to all users, including persons with disabilities.  We strive to continually improve the user experience for all and apply accessibility principles as outlined in applicable laws and international standards.

We are actively working towards compliance with technical standards for websites and mobile apps and the perceivable, operable, understandable and robust principles, in line with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1. level AA and relevant accessibility standards outlined in the European Accessibility Act (EAA).

Our approach aligns with the accessibility commitment and policy of our parent company, RELX, available at  https://www.relx.com/corporate-responsibility/engaging-others/policies-and-downloads.

Compliance status

We acknowledge partial compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. Please see “Areas for Improvement” below regarding how we are actively working to implement necessary improvements.  

The website was last tested against WCAG 2.1 Level AA in April 2025.

This statement was prepared on 16 June 2025 and may be updated as progress continues. 

The statement is based on a review of a representative sample of web pages using automated, and in some circumstances, manual testing.

  • JavaScript

Areas for Improvement

Whilst we are committed to ensure the accessibility of our Services, we are aware there are areas for improvement which we are working to address, including those listed below:

  • Website portfolio: Some websites within our portfolio may not have been updated yet to meet accessibility standards in areas such as text, typography, colour contrast, button size, focus states, alt text, page titles, media resources, animations, and background colours
  • Keyboard navigation: Currently, users can partially navigate our website using only a keyboard. We are actively working to improve full keyboard accessibility across all pages and components.
  • Colour cues: For some content, users cannot solely rely on colour to convey information, indicate an action, prompt a response, or distinguish visual elements as certain elements do not comply with this rule, however we are looking to improve these areas.
  • Video player:
    • Keyboard accessibility: We are aware of some issues with the keyboard accessibility of our video player which we’re working to improve.
    • Captions: Some of our videos currently lack captions therefore we are continuously working to add captions to more videos.
    • Audio descriptions: Certain videos on our websites do not have audio descriptions and we are actively working to address the issue.
  • Additional areas of continuous evaluation and improvement include:
    • HTML structure
    • Forms
    • External links
    • Footer
    • Checkboxes & Radio buttons
    • Button roles
    • Accordions
    • Tooltips

We have established guidelines and provided internal training to address the identified issues and appreciate your patience and feedback as we continue to improve accessibility issues. Please contact us if you encounter an issue not listed above.
