York Learning 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 and exemptions listed below.
The accessibility regulations do not require us to ‘fix’ existing documents if they were published before 23 September 2018 (if they’re not essential to providing services), neither are we required to amend PDFs which are part of heritage collections or scanned manuscripts; email us about requesting services in an accessible format.
Pre-recorded audio and videos published before 23 September 2020 are exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations and may not all have captions.
Maps are exempt from accessibility regulations, but we’re working to provide essential information in accessible ways; email us about requesting services in an accessible format.
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.
Where our assessments have determined that it would be disproportionate burden to apply fixes to make part of online services accessible, we are working to make information more accessible within our normal update schedule.
We’re committed to being a fair and inclusive service, and we’re passionate about providing accessible services, ensuring they’re properly designed and coded, so more people can use them more easily, regardless of their hardware, software, language, location, or ability.
Our online services are currently being (and will continue to be) reviewed for compliance with WCAG 2.1 AA.
