Technical information about this website’s accessibility

Goodenough College is committed to making its websites accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 basic check.

Non-accessible content

The content that is not accessible is outlined below with details of:

• where it fails the success criteria
• planned dates for when issues will be fixed

Videos do not have captions. Because the videos were published before 23 September 2020 they do not need fixing. However, we aim to revisit these and add captions by the end of 2020.

How we tested the website

This website was, and is, currently being tested for compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines V2.1 basic check, and these tests have been carried out internally.

What we’re doing to improve accessibility

Guidance will be created to help content authors understand the requirements for captions for all new videos. This is related to WCAG 2.1A success criteria 1.2.2 (Captions (Pre-recorded)) and 1.2.3 Audio Description or Media Alternative (Pre-recorded).
We will continue to check the website and make improvements to accessibility.
