Accessibility Statement

Commitment to Accessibility

We are committed to ensuring that our ePortfolio platform is accessible to as many users as possible, including professionals with disabilities or access needs. Accessibility is considered throughout the design and development of the platform to support inclusive and equitable use.

Standards and Guidelines

This platform is being developed with reference to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines outline best practice for making digital content accessible to people with a wide range of abilities and assistive technologies.

Accessibility Features

The platform includes the following accessibility considerations:

  • Readable text and zoom support
    Text is presented at clear, readable sizes, and the interface remains usable when zoomed in, supporting users with visual impairments or reduced vision.

  • Keyboard accessibility
    Key functionality is designed to be operable using a keyboard, supporting users who do not use a mouse.

  • Screen reader compatibility
    The platform structure, headings, and labels are designed to work with screen readers and other assistive technologies.

  • Colour and contrast
    Colour choices are reviewed with accessibility in mind, including sufficient contrast between text, interactive controls, and backgrounds.

  • Non‑colour indicators
    Information is not conveyed by colour alone. Where colour is used, additional visual cues or text are provided to support users with colour vision deficiencies.

  • Clear layout and visual design
    Layout, spacing, typography, and visual presentation are designed to support readability, clarity, and ease of use across a wide range of users.

 

Known Limitations

While accessibility is a priority, there may be areas of the platform that do not yet fully meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards. Work is ongoing to identify and address these areas as development progresses.

Ongoing Improvement

Accessibility is an ongoing consideration within our development and review processes. We regularly review the platform and aim to make improvements based on user feedback, testing, and evolving best practice.
