Leicester College owns www.leicestercollege.ac.uk. The website is hosted and maintained by GoGo Marketing. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to: Zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen Navigate most of the website using just a keyboard Listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver) We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand. AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability. What are we doing? To help us make the Leicester college website a positive place for everyone, we’ve been using the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, and user friendly for everyone. The guidelines have three levels of accessibility (A, AA and AAA). We’ve chosen Level A as the starting point for the Leicester college website. We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible: We have about 18,000 (eighteen thousand) images on our website. Some of these images do not have a text alternative, so people using a screen reader cannot access the information. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1 (non-text content). We plan to add all the above by March 2022. When we publish new content we’ll make sure our use of images meets accessibility standards. Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations 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, and forms published as Word documents. 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 We do not plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations. Improvements to our accessibility As of 24th of September 2020 the below criterion has been met. All input errors are identified and described on forms.WCAG 2.1 success criterion 3.3.1 (Error Identification). All user interface components has labels. WCAG 2.1 success criterion 3.3.2 (Labels or Instructions) Keyboard focus is now displaying selected links. WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.4.7 (focus visible). How are we doing? We’ve worked hard on the Leicester college website and believe we’ve achieved reached our goal of Level A accessibility. We monitor the website regularly to maintain this, and we are always looking to improve the accessibility of this website.
