Assessment
Reigate Learning Alliance is committed to making this website accessible, so that everybody can use it. The site has been designed to enable you to:
- Change colours, contrast and fonts using the accessibility helper sidebar on the right-hand side of every page
- Zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
- Navigate the website using the keyboard
- Navigate using a screen reader
- View the site with responsive design on mobile devices
- The website text has been made as simple as possible to understand.
Reigate Learning Alliance has performed basic testing which was carried out internally (most recently in March 2023) using a variety of assistive technology tools along with Google Lighthouse and the WAVE web accessibility evaluation tool on all areas of the website.
The performance of the website has been tested with a variety of combinations of browsers and screen readers:
- Desktop: Microsoft Edge, Chrome, Safari, Windows Speech Recognition, NaturalReader, VoiceOver, keyboard-only navigation
- Mobile Apple and Android devices: screen orientation and single-finger navigation, speech recognition, Chrome, Safari + VoiceOver
There are several customisation options for browsers and devices that could help you use the website more effectively. AbilityNet provides advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
Improving accessibility
This website is mostly compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard.
Problem: not all PDF documents are fully accessible to screen reader software
What we’re doing about it: We’re reformatting pdfs to make them accessible where possible, and educating content creators to help ensure newly created resources are fully accessible.
Please let us know if you have a suggestion regarding how we could improve accessibility.
