1. Introduction
Pearson & Partners wants everyone to be able to read a vacancy, find a consultant and get in touch with us, whatever their abilities and whatever technology they use. This statement sets out the standard we work to, where we stand today and how to tell us that something does not work.
2. The standard we work to
We work towards the technical standard EN 301 549 and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, level AA. The success criteria that WCAG 2.2 adds are part of our development work as the standard moves to that version.
3. Conformance status
Pearson & Partners has taken measures to work actively towards meeting these requirements. We do not claim that this website meets them in full. The website was last reviewed on 15 September 2026.
We review with automated accessibility testing, with keyboard only navigation, and by reading pages at 200 percent zoom and at mobile screen widths. What we find is recorded and resolved by priority.
4. What we do
- Headings, landmarks and page titles, so the structure of a page can be followed without seeing it.
- A visible label on every field of our contact form and our application form.
- Descriptive alternative text for images that carry meaning, decorative images marked as such.
- Keyboard operation for the main journeys: searching a vacancy, reading a vacancy, applying and contacting us.
- Text that keeps enough contrast against its background.
- Pages that reflow on small screens and at high zoom, without a second scrollbar.
5. Known limitations
- Parts of this website use components built by others, such as the cookie notice and embedded content from third parties. We did not build those components and cannot change everything in them.
- Documents and vacancy texts that reach us from a client or a candidate are not always accessible. Where we can, we rewrite them.
- Pages in a language other than English are partly machine assisted, which can affect how a screen reader pronounces them.
6. Reporting a problem
If a page, a form or a document does not work for you, tell us through our contact form. It helps if you mention the address of the page, what you were trying to do, and which browser or assistive technology you were using. We use these reports to fix problems and to set priorities.
If the form itself is the barrier, you can reach us on +31 (0)20 782 7822.
