Reporting Accessibility Problems with This Website
We’re always looking to improve the accessibility of this website. If you find any problems not listed on this page or think we’re not meeting accessibility requirements, please contact:

 

Enforcement Procedure
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is responsible for enforcing the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 (the ‘accessibility regulations’).

Technical Information About This Website’s Accessibility
Salford City 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 website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.
Non-Accessible Content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons:
Non-Compliance with the Accessibility Regulations
  • Some images do not have alternative text, so people using a screen reader cannot access the information.
  • Some older PDFs are not fully accessible to screen readers.
When we publish new content, we’ll make sure it meets accessibility standards.
 
Disproportionate Burden
We’ve assessed that fixing the following would be a disproportionate burden within the meaning of the accessibility regulations:
  • Captions for some multimedia content.
  • Full accessibility for certain complex, older documents (e.g., archived policy papers).
Content That’s Not Within the Scope of Accessibility Regulations
  • PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018, unless they’re essential to providing our services.
  • Third-party content that we do not fund, develop, or control, such as embedded social media feeds.

 

What We’re Doing to Improve Accessibility
We are committed to regular reviews and updates of our website to improve accessibility. This includes:
  • Ensuring new content meets accessibility standards.
  • Conducting regular staff training and audits.
