Pet Ed: Accessibility Statement

Pet Ed is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users. We aim to provide an inclusive and accessible learning environment for all learners, including those with disabilities.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, which provide a framework for making web content more accessible for people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.

Our goal is to ensure that all users can access and engage with our content, courses, and resources independently and effectively.

Measures We Have Taken

To support accessibility, Pet Ed has implemented the following measures:

  • Clear and consistent navigation and page structure

  • Logical use of headings and content sections

  • Responsive design across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices

  • Use of readable fonts and scalable text

  • Compatibility with modern browsers and assistive technologies

  • Structured course layouts designed for ease of use

Accessibility of Our Learning Platform

The Pet Ed platform provides built-in accessibility features. We work within this system to ensure that our courses and materials are created in line with accessibility best practices.

While we strive for full accessibility, some elements of the platform rely on third-party functionality and may be outside of our direct control.

Areas for Ongoing Improvement

We recognise that accessibility is an ongoing process and are actively working to improve the following areas:

  • Continually adding captions and transcripts to video content

  • Ensuring all images include appropriate alternative text (alt text)

  • Reviewing and improving colour contrast to meet WCAG standards

  • Enhancing accessibility of downloadable materials, including PDFs and guides

  • Improving usability of forms and input fields for assistive technologies

Known Limitations

Despite our best efforts, some content may not yet fully meet accessibility standards. For example:

  • Some platform features may have limitations due to third-party systems

We are actively working to address this area.

Ongoing Commitment

Pet Ed is committed to continuous improvement and will:

  • Regularly review our platform and content for accessibility

  • Ensure all new content is created with accessibility in mind

  • Update existing materials to improve accessibility where possible

  • Monitor developments in accessibility standards and best practice
