Accessibility Statement

Bath 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.bathcollege.ac.uk.

This website is run by Bath 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

We are also revising the website text to make it as simple as possible to understand. AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

We have also included the UserWay accessibility tool on the website to offer some assistance on the above while we work towards full compliance.

Compliance status

We recognise this website is not compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard. The non-compliance issues are listed below, and we have identified where these are being actively addressed.

Non-accessible content

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

• some pages and document attachments are not written in plain English. These are currently being rewritten, and new content is uploaded 3 times per week. We aim to have all website content refreshed by February 2026
• some elements of the website have poor colour contrast. We are currently testing these elements and are revisiting our brand guidelines to deliver maximum visibility for all our users. We aim to complete this work by January 2026
• some heading elements are not consistent
• some images do not have image descriptions. These are being tested and will be updated as we encounter issues
• some images used to convey information have poor colour contrast. Again, this will be identified and addressed as part of our overhaul of our brand guidelines
• some actions or information in tables cannot be actioned or reached with a keyboard. We are undertaking a technical audit of the website, and these will be identified and addressed
• many documents are in PDF format and are not accessible. We are actively working through these documents and providing accessible versions as soon as possible. You may also contact us on the details below, and we will provide an accessible version.

Preparation of this accessibility statement

This statement was prepared on 18th November. It will be updated on 1st December 2025 with the latest results of our technical audit, and a refreshed project plan for website amendments to address our current accessibility issues. The auditing and project planning will be undertaken with guidance from Jisc. The statement was last reviewed on 18th November 2025.
