ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

We are committed to continuously enhancing our website (www.captivateed.org.uk) to ensure maximum accessibility for all users.

We recognize that this requires continuous monitoring, improvement, and adaptation in accordance with The Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications)(No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018. In the sections below, we elaborate on the various efforts that have been undertaken to address our progress in ensuring digital accessibility for all.

A key element of our accessibility initiative is our engagement with a third-party accessibility consulting organization UserWay to help bring the website into conformance. We use industry standard accessibility methods and tools to accomplish this, in accordance with the relevant version of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) as set forth by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) the internet’s main international standards-setting organization.

captivateed.org.uk makes available the UserWay Website Accessibility Widget that is powered by a dedicated accessibility server.

The Widget offers user-triggered enhancements that allow visitors to improve the accessibility of the site. These features will, when selected, increase font size, pause animations, change color contrast, and more. People can choose combinations that suit their needs, as per WCAG Level AAA.

The site has enabled Automated Remediation Technology (ART) for all visitors, whether they use assistive technology or not. ART does not detect Assistive Technology usage; rather, it improves accessibility for all site visitors regardless of ability by deploying remediation capabilities such as (not a complete list):

  • Images and other non-text elements have alternative text associated with them when required;

  • Keyboard navigation is improved with aids such as focus indication and skip links; skip to content links are embedded in our pages and will be picked up by appropriate screen reader software.

They also allow site visitors who are not able to use a mouse/pointing device to skip to links within the content without having to tab through all of the links in the navigation.

We have assessed our brand colours and their digital usage using the EightShapes Contrast Grid to ensure the visual presentation of text and images of text has a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1, Level AA.
