Accessibility

Markerstudy has built this site to be accessible and usable to as many people as possible. This website is designed with full consideration of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) set by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) as part of their Web Accessibility Initiative to facilitate equal access to people with disabilities using technologies other than standard web browsers.

 

Our aim is to ensure the way we conduct our business does not have a detrimental impact on our vulnerable customers when it comes to arranging their insurance needs. Providing good customer service to our vulnerable customers remains one of our top priorities to meet any additional needs and requirements to ensure the best outcome.

 

We take our responsibility seriously by acting in accordance with Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) guidance on how organisations should ensure the fair treatment of vulnerable customers. All of our staff are fully trained to identify vulnerable customers and provide the additional level of assistance they may require.

 

We believe in removing barriers to communication and have aimed to make our website as accessible to use as possible. We have taken the following measures to adapt our website to suit your needs.

 

Browser compatibility

Our website uses CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) to separate text for easier reading and where possible provide text alternatives for graphical content.
