The aims of the Sequence website include the remit that its content is accessible to people who have visual, hearing, motor or cognitive impairments.

As technologies that assist disabled users become more available and sophisticated, the Sequence website team will ensure that its media work well with these assistive technologies to ensure an accessible experience for disabled users.

In those instances where the specific accessibility needs of some disabled user groups require us to create new or repurposed editorial content, we will do this, wherever appropriate, so that we become more inclusive to a wider audience online.
