Everyone should have the same opportunity to engage with the Scottish Parliament. The Scottish Parliament recognises that delivering this means it has to anticipate the needs of all its users by making sure the information it produces is inclusive and accessible to everyone.
Everyone should have the same opportunity to engage with the Scottish Parliament.
The Scottish Parliament recognises that delivering this means it has to anticipate the needs of all its users by making sure the information it produces is inclusive and accessible to everyone.
It is therefore essential that accessibility is incorporated into the development of all materials produced by the Scottish Parliament. Throughout the contents of the Brand Guidelines, accessibility is a core principle and theme that is adhered to.
Guidance has been followed from organisations such as RNIB and best practice principles embraced from W3C concerning web content and from GOV.UK Digital Design Standards for digital content.
Throughout the various sections of this edition of the Brand Guidelines, the Scottish Parliament has embedded accessibility guidance within the sections on:
• Colour palette – ensuring current and added colours provide sufficient contrasts in materials
• Typography – advocating and adhering to minimum sizes across materials
• Typefaces – adopting sans serif fonts with a broad range of weightings to suit different tones of voice to different audiences and using desktop compatible fonts that are cross platform to facilitate consistency of published information and assist inclusion
• Layouts – adopting standard grids for copy for improved legibility and clarity of information
• Digital and social media channels – encouraging a more flexible approach to expressing the Parliament’s identity to best fit different channels including a social media version.
