Technical information about this website’s accessibility
Wivenhoe Park Day Nursery 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
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.
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 March 2020. When we publish new content we’ll make sure our use of images meets accessibility standards.
Disproportionate burden
We are not currently aware of any items that we would consider to be a disproportionate burden to fix.
Navigation and accessing information
The user may experience issues when changing the device orientation from horizontal to vertical and when changing text size. In all tests this has been resolved with a page refresh.
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 September 2020, 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.
New PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards, though the accessibility of automatically-generated documents, which form part of our service, are controlled by third-party software and we cannot guarantee their accessibility.
Live video
We do not plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.
What we’re doing to improve accessibility
As the existing issues are with templating provided by a third party, we will consult the third party for updates that resolve the issues as often as possible.
