Organisation: Brighter Futures Educational Trust
We are committed to making our website accessible to everyone, regardless of ability. Our goal is to provide a digital experience that is usable, inclusive, and adaptable to individual needs.
Our Accessibility Approach
We take a modern, flexible approach to accessibility, focusing on:
Customisation Options: Users can adjust colours, fonts, and contrast through built-in tools or browser settings.
Scalable Content: Text can be resized up to 400% without loss of clarity or functionality.
Keyboard and Assistive Technology Navigation: The website supports navigation via keyboard and is compatible with screen readers.
Simplified Content: We structure content clearly, using plain language and consistent formatting to enhance understanding.
Responsive Design: The website is accessible across a wide range of devices, including desktops, tablets, and smartphones.
Accessibility Features
Key features supporting accessibility include:
Alternative text for images and graphics.
Captions or transcripts for multimedia content when applicable.
Forms designed for compatibility with browser-based autocomplete and validation.
Structured headings and tables to support navigation with assistive technologies.
We regularly review our features to improve usability and inclusivity.
Limitations and Exemptions
Despite our efforts, some areas of the website may not be fully accessible:
Certain older PDF documents may not be fully compatible with screen readers.
Third-party content, such as maps or embedded tools, may have accessibility limitations.
Some customised forms or media may not fully meet all accessibility guidelines.
Visual elements, including images or brand colours, may not always meet contrast requirements.
These limitations are continually reviewed and addressed where possible.
Ongoing Accessibility Efforts
We are committed to continuous improvement, which includes:
Regular testing and audits of our website’s accessibility.
Updating content and features to align with best practices and evolving standards.
Encouraging feedback from users to identify and resolve barriers.
Compliance Status
This website aims to meet the WCAG 2.2 AA standard. Some content may not fully comply due to operational requirements or third-party limitations, but we are actively working to minimise these gaps.
Commitment to Improvement
Brighter Futures Educational Trust is dedicated to creating an accessible digital experience for all users. Accessibility is an ongoing priority, and our approach is regularly reviewed and updated to reflect new standards and feedback.
