How Bury College provides ESOL learners with an introduction to life in the UK
ESOL (English as a Second Language) learners from our Step Up to Prospects course recently celebrated their achievements over the last year.
Bury College is committed to making our platforms as accessible as possible and as part of the College’s commitment to Equality and Diversity care has been taken to ensure the overall site accessibility meets at least WCAG 2.0, WCAG 2.1 AA standards. In many cases these have been exceeded to meet WCAG 2.1 AAA requirements.
Please note that we sometimes link to external content or use embedded widgets and these may not have been reviewed or evaluated for their accessibility.
As part of our accessibility evaluation and review process, manual testing has been performed and the following tools have also been used;
Whilst we have made the site as usable and accessible as we can, some users may still have a more enhanced experience if they are also able to change the settings on their device, to suit their needs.
An example of this may be having text on the site spoken aloud, or fonts / colours replaced with a user’s custom or preferred font / colour.
For help with this customisation the following links may be helpful;
We are always looking to improve the accessibility of our site, so if you find anything on the site difficult to use or wish to provide us with feedback on what could be improved please let us know by emailing marketing@burycollege.ac.uk.
To help us understand the problem as quickly as we can, please tell us:
Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will be improved to meet accessibility standards as best as we can. Please contact us if you have difficulty with any of the documents on the site and we will work to provide you with the content in an alternative, more accessible format.
