How accessible this website is
While we’re always working to make sure our websites are as usable as possible, we know some parts are not yet fully accessible. The problems we know about are:
- videos do not all have captions or audio descriptions
- most older PDF documents are not fully accessible

Telling us about accessibility problems
We’re always looking to improve the accessibility of our websites. If you find any problems or think we’re not meeting accessibility requirements please contact us.
Meeting accessibility regulations
The Barbican Centre is committed to making its website accessible.
At the moment this website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 AA standard. We believe that we also meet the newer 2.2 standard and we are working on checking our website against the success criteria for compliance.
By meeting this standard, and by providing this accessibility statement, we comply with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
What does not meet the accessibility standard?
PDFs and other documents
Some of our PDFs and Word documents are essential to providing our services. For example, we have PDFs with information on how users can access our services. We plan to either fix these or replace them with accessible HTML pages.
The accessibility regulations 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 will contain captions whenever possible. However, live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.
