    We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

    Enforcement procedure

    The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is responsible for enforcing the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 (the ‘accessibility regulations’). If you’re not happy with how we respond to your complaint, contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS).

    Technical information about this website’s accessibility

    Holy Cross catholic Primary School is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

    Compliance status

    The website has been tested against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA standard.

    This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard, due to [insert one of the following: ‘the non-compliances’, ‘the exemptions’ or ‘the non-compliances and exemptions’] listed below.

    Non-accessible content

    The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.

    Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

    Some images do not have a text alternative, so people using a screen reader cannot access the information. This fails WCAG 2.2 success criterion 1.1.1 (non-text content).

    Disproportionate burden

    Navigation and accessing information

    There’s no way to skip the repeated content in the page header (for example, a ‘skip to main content’ option).

    It’s not always possible to change the device orientation from horizontal to vertical without making it more difficult to view the content.

    It’s not possible for users to change text size without some of the content overlapping.

    We’ve assessed the cost of fixing the issues with navigation and accessing information. We believe that doing so now would be a disproportionate burden within the meaning of the accessibility regulations. We will make another assessment when the supplier contract is up for renewal, likely to be in [rough timing].

    Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations

    PDFs and other 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.

    Live video

    We do not plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.

    What we’re doing to improve accessibility

    Our accessibility roadmap [add link to roadmap] shows how and when we plan to improve accessibility on this website.
