Technical information about this website’s accessibility

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

 

Compliance status

The website has been assessed against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA standard.

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard, due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below.

 

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.

Any content uploaded prior to 31/01/2025 may be non-accessible, schools are exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations, but Castle Donington will endeavour to meet the requirements going forward from this date.

Content found within the news & events section.

Uploaded letters to parents in the Parents section.

Videos published prior to 31/01/2025 will not contain transcriptions.

Content such as posters created by Third Party Organisations.

Some information in the curriculum section may be non-accessible to screen readers.

 

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 2.2 success criterion 1.1.1 (non-text content).

We plan to add text alternatives for all images going forward from 31/01/2025. When we publish new content, we’ll make sure our use of images meets accessibility standards.

Some videos do not contain transcripts. This fails WCAG 2.2 success criterion 1.1.2.

We plan to add transcripts for all new uploaded videos and audio fails to meet the standards.

 

Disproportionate burden

There is no content that we are required to modify to meet the standards.
