Accessibility Statement

Last reviewed: July 2026

Our Commitment

Hyett Education is committed to making our website accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA.

We believe that inclusive design benefits all users, not just those with specific access needs. Our website is designed and built to work well for as many people as possible.

Accessibility Features

We have implemented the following accessibility features across this website:

• Semantic HTML: We use heading hierarchies, a single main landmark, and semantic elements to support assistive technology.
• Keyboard navigation: Core navigation, forms, and controls are designed to be accessed and operated using a keyboard.
• Skip links: A skip-to-content link is provided on every page so keyboard users can bypass the navigation.
• ARIA attributes: ARIA labels, roles, and states are used where native HTML semantics are not sufficient, including for the mobile menu and interactive components.
• Alt text: Meaningful images include descriptive alt text. Decorative images are hidden from assistive technology where appropriate.
• Colour contrast: Text and interactive colour tokens are selected for WCAG AA contrast on their intended backgrounds.
• Responsive design: Representative layouts are tested at narrow mobile widths and at the WCAG 400% zoom equivalent. Complex tables use labelled scrolling regions where a two-dimensional layout is necessary.
• Reduced motion: Animations and transitions respect the prefers-reduced-motion setting for users who find motion uncomfortable.
• Focus indicators: Visible focus outlines are provided for keyboard users on core interactive elements.
• Language support: We publish content in English and Welsh (Cymraeg). Twenty-five Welsh-path pages that still contain substantial English text have been withdrawn as Welsh alternatives from search indexing and internal language switching until they receive professional translation and native-language review.

Standards

This website aims to conform to WCAG 2.2 Level AA. Our current status is partially conformant because testing has not yet covered every page and authenticated role, and some third-party content remains outside our control. WCAG is the internationally recognised set of guidelines for making web content accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive impairments.

Testing

Our July 2026 internal review covered representative public and authenticated source paths, keyboard and focus behaviour, captions, colour contrast, reflow, and documents. Automated pull-request checks scan representative public pages with axe, alongside targeted manual checks such as keyboard navigation and visual inspection of focus indicators. This is not an independent accessibility audit, and automated tests cannot identify every barrier.

This statement records the evidence available at the last reviewed date. We update it when the tested scope, known limitations, or significant features change.

Known Limitations

Some Welsh-path pages contain English passages without sentence-level language markup. Those incomplete alternatives have been removed from the sitemap and Welsh alternate links, and direct requests are redirected to the English page until professional translation and native-language review are complete. Some third-party content or embedded elements, such as map widgets, may not fully meet WCAG standards. Complete authenticated screen-reader coverage and an independent WCAG audit have not yet been completed. Contact us if you need content in an alternative accessible format.
