Accessibility Statement for Kirklees College

Kirklees 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 www.kirkleescollege.ac.uk.

This website is run by Kirklees College. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • change colours, contrast levels and fonts using browser or device settings
  • zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate most of the website using a keyboard or speech recognition software
  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

The website includes a UserWay accessibility widget, which provides additional options for adjusting colours, contrast, fonts, text size, text spacing and other display settings.

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

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

Non-compliance with Accessibility Regulations

We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible:

  • WCAG 2.4.2 Page Titled: PDF documents may have minimal contrast or may not include descriptive titles. These issues need to be reviewed and corrected.
  • WCAG 1.3.1 Info and Relationships: Some PDF content is not correctly tagged for use with screen reader software. These issues need to be reviewed and corrected.
Preparation of this accessibility statement

This statement was prepared on 21 November 2024. It was last reviewed on 9 July 2026.

This website was last tested on 9 July 2026 against the WCAG 2.2 AA standard by the college’s website team.

The test was carried out by Kirklees College. A representative selection of the website’s most viewed pages, page templates and common components was tested using automated testing tools by our website team. A further manual audit was carried out against the WCAG 2.2 AA standard, including keyboard navigation and guided accessibility testing.

All applicable checks on the selected pages, templates and components passed, with the exception of the PDF-related issues listed above. As this testing covered a representative selection of the website rather than every individual page, users are encouraged to report any accessibility problems they find.
