Technical information about this website’s accessibility

秋葵视频 is committed to making this 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 (WCAG) version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances below.

Video captions

We are in the process of implementing a way for students that require accurate captions to send a request to arrange for edited captioning for recorded lectures.

The accessibility regulations do not apply to recorded videos published before 23 September 2020.

Line height and text spacing

While text can be magnified, it is not possible for users to modify text spacing or line height. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.4.12 (text spacing).

We are looking at solutions to this issue.

Older images lacking text alternatives

Some images do not have a text alternative, so people using a screen reader cannot access the information. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1 (non-text content).

We are currently speaking to our suppliers about the incorporating alternative text to images by September 2020.

Colour contrast

Some of the pages on this website use themes that lack a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 between text and background colours. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.4.3 (Contrast).

We are reviewing the theme this website uses and plan to phase out any non-compliant theme elements by September 2020. When we use a new theme, we will make sure it meets accessibility standards.

Colour contrast

Some of the pages on this website use themes that use colour as the sole indicator of visual information, for indicating an action or prompting a response. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.41 (Use of Colour).

We are reviewing the theme this website uses and plan to phase out any non-compliant theme elements by September 2020. When we use a new theme, we will make sure it meets accessibility standards.

ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) with invalid attributes

Some of our pages are using invalid ARIA attributes which will be inaccessible to screen readers. This fails WCAG success criterion 4.1.2 (Name, Role Value).

We are reviewing the theme this website uses and plan to phase out any non-compliant theme elements by September 2020. When we use a new theme, we will make sure it meets accessibility standards.

HTML attributes with duplicated ID’s and labels

Some of our pages contain duplicated HTML attributes ID’s and labels which will be problematic for screen readers interpretations. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.1 (Parsing).

We are reviewing the theme this website uses and plan to phase out any non-compliant theme elements by September 2020. When we use a new theme, we will make sure it meets accessibility standards.

Additional accessibility considerations

WCAG 2.1 defines three levels of conformance: level A, level AA and level AAA. Although our goal is WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance, we have also applied some level AAA success criteria:

• Images of text are only used for pure decoration or where a particular presentation of text is essential to the information being conveyed.
• We are adding full transcripts to our videos.
• Functionality of the content is operable through a keyboard interface without requiring specific timings for individual keystrokes.

What we are doing to improve accessibility

We have a rolling programme of updating the content and design of this website in accordance with the guidelines set out by the WCAG and will continue to assess and improve our accessibility based on these guidelines, user testing and user feedback.
