Accessibility statement for Sustainability Support for Education

This accessibility statement applies to www.sustainabilitysupportforeducation.org.uk. This website is commissioned by the Department for Education and built by TPXimact.

How you should be able to use this website

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

  • change colours, contrast levels and fonts using browser or device settings
  • zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
  • live video streams do not have captions
  • you cannot skip to the main content when using a screen reader
  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

We have also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

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

How accessible this website is

We aim for our website to be as compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 AA standard as possible. We have also worked towards WCAG 2.2 AAA criteria as much as possible. Whilst the website largely meets those standards, we know parts of our websites have accessibility barriers. For example:

Third Party

  • Our forms are created using Google Forms, limiting our ability to control their accessibility.
  • We link to external resources and websites, and we cannot guarantee their accessibility compliance.

Colour Contrast

  • The colour of links do not meet the AAA colour contrast requirements

What we’re doing to improve accessibility

As part of the website's first release, this will include a notice informing users that it is still in development, and we will be gathering feedback.

TPXimpact has engaged its internal accessibility experts for both design and development to ensure a robust build. During design and development we have tested with automated tools and assistive technologies. As we develop the website, we will continue to test any changes we make for accessibility.

We have also worked to improve the website to meet not only WCAG 2.2 AA standards but also cover AAA criteria.
