Compliance status 

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

Non-accessible content 

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations 

  • Some images do not have appropriate alt text. This fails WCAG 2.2 success criterion 1.1.1 (Non-text Content). 
  • Some videos within e-learning courses do not have captions. This fails WCAG 2.2 success criterion 1.2.2 (Captions – Prerecorded).
