Technical information about this website’s accessibility
Thurrock Adult Community College is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
On some pages there are no top-level headings. A top-level heading helps screen reader users and search engines to know the main topic of a page. This doesn’t meet WCAG 2 success criterion 1.3.1 Information and Relationships and 2.4.10 Section Headings.
When we publish new content, we’ll make sure our use of headings meets accessibility standards.
Some images contain text, so people with dyslexia or using a screen reader will not be able to read the information. This doesn’t meet WCAG 2 success criterion 1.4.5 (Images of Text).
When we publish new content, we’ll make sure our use of images meets accessibility standards.
Some current PDFs are using older formatting and will be amended in the near future.
We don’t categorise any of the accessibility issues on https://www.tacc.ac.uk/ as a disproportionate burden to fix within the meaning of the regulations…
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.
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. For example, we do not plan to fix [example of non-essential document].
Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.
We are planning to improve our website by doing the following:
