Technical information about this website's accessibility

Medway Anglican Schools Trust is committed to making its website accessible in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

The website has been tested against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 AA standard.

Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.

Non-accessible content

We are aware that some content on the website does not yet fully meet accessibility standards.

PDFs and other documents

Some older PDF documents and other downloadable files may not be fully accessible to users of assistive technology. For example, some documents may not have appropriate heading structures, reading order, document tagging or alternative text.

We are reviewing older documents and will prioritise improving documents that are required to access important information or services.

When new documents are published, we aim to ensure they are accessible wherever possible.

If you need any document in an accessible alternative format, please contact us.

Images and alternative text

Some older images may not have appropriate alternative text.

We are reviewing website content and will add or improve alternative text where an image conveys information that is necessary to understand the page.

Third-party and embedded content

Some pages may contain embedded or linked content provided by third-party services. We may have limited control over the accessibility of this content.

Where we identify an accessibility issue relating to third-party content, we will seek an accessible alternative where reasonably possible.

Content outside the scope of the accessibility regulations

Some PDFs and other documents published before 23 September 2018 may be exempt from the accessibility regulations where they are not essential to providing our services.

Third-party content that is neither funded nor developed by MAST and is not under our control may also fall outside the scope of the accessibility regulations.

What we are doing to improve accessibility

MAST is committed to continually improving the accessibility of its website.

As part of this work, we will:

• review new website content for accessibility

• use appropriate headings and page structures

• provide meaningful alternative text for images where required

• ensure links are clear and descriptive

• consider accessibility when creating and publishing documents

• review older documents and content where accessibility issues are identified

• provide accessible alternative formats where reasonably possible

• respond to accessibility concerns raised by users

• consider accessibility whenever significant changes are made to the website

Accessibility will form part of the ongoing review and development of the MAST website.
