Accessibility statement

This accessibility statement applies to skillsforstudy.com

We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
  • listen to the website using a screen reader (tested using Pericles TTS plugin and Google Chrome)
  • navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
  • transcripts and subtitles are available for most video content

Useful accessibility information

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

Some admin users may have access to a WYSIWYG editor (CKEditor 4) which enables them to add short custom text blocks to this site. A guide to the accessibility support available for that editor is available here.

How accessible this website is

We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible:

  • Most of the PDF documents on the site aren’t 100% accessible. However, they can generally be read with screen-reader software and are searchable. It is the metadata and structure of the files that need improving
  • Some videos don't yet have captions and/or transcripts, but this is being worked on and they will be available in 2022.
