AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability. How accessible this website is We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible: most older PDF documents are not fully accessible to screen reader software some of our online forms are difficult to navigate using just a keyboard Feedback and contact information If you need information on this website in a different format like accessible PDF, large print, easy read, audio recording or braille: email digital@whizz-kidz.org.uk We’ll consider your request and get back to you in 5 working days. Reporting accessibility problems with this website We’re always looking to improve the accessibility of this website.

Technical information about this website’s accessibility Whizz-kidz is committed to making its website accessible. Compliance status This website is fully compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard. Non-accessible content The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons. Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations Some 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 text alternatives for all images by January 2021. When we publish new content we’ll make sure our use of images meets accessibility standards. Interactive tools and transactions Some of our interactive forms are difficult to navigate using a keyboard. For example, because some form controls are missing a ‘label’ tag. Our forms are built and hosted through third party software and ‘skinned’ to look like our website. We’ve assessed the cost of fixing the issues with navigation and accessing information, and with interactive tools and transactions. We believe that doing so now would be a disproportionate burden within the meaning of the accessibility regulations. We will make another assessment when the supplier contract is up for renewal, likely to be in January 2021. 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. By January 2021, 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. Preparation of this accessibility statement This statement was prepared on 16 August 2020.
