Accessibility statement

This system is run by Dizions Ltd. We want as many people as possible to be able to use our software. For example, that means you should be able to:

• change colours, contrast levels and fonts
• zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
• navigate the website using just a keyboard
• navigate the website using speech recognition software
• listen to the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS and NVDA)

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

https://abilitynet.org.uk has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

Technical information about the software's accessibility

Disproportionate burden

Navigation and accessing information

Currently there are no known issues with the navigation of the software.

Interactive tools and transactions

Currently there are no known issues with interactive tools and transactions.

Live video Webinars

Live video streams do not have captions. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.2.4 (captions - live). We do not plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.

How we test our software

This software undergoes testing via our QA department. We test for accessibility as part of our standard test routines. We also work with the Royal National College for the Blind to do annual testing on essential features of the software.

What we’re doing to improve accessibility

We endeavour to ensure that all new features and content of the software are accessible. Any reported accessibility issues are dealt with along with our SLA’s and treated as issues like any other non-functioning areas.
