Accessibility Statement
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 accessibility statement applies to
https://www.tacc.ac.uk
Compliance status
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility
Guidelines version [2.1 or 2.2] AA standard, due to the non-compliance(s) listed
below.
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reason(s):
Headings
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.
Images
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 will make sure our use of images meets accessibility
standards.
CAPTCHA Codes
CAPTCHA codes use images containing numbers with generic "Alt Text".
We are
looking for an alternative CAPTCHA process that meets accessibility standards.
PDFs
Some
current PDFs are using older formatting and will be amended in the near future.
Google Maps
Google
Maps contain "touch target" links that have small text.
Cookie
Preferences
Cookie
Preference selection have poor or missing focus controls.
We are looking for an alternative
Cookie option process that meets accessibility standards.
(b)
disproportionate burden
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…
The website is currently undergoing a full redesign in accordance with AA
standard accessibility regulations. The new fully compliant website is planned
to go live mid July 2024.
Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility
regulations
PDFs and other
documents

standards.
