This is now a living document to enable the SALC team to continually improve accessibility to the documents they produce and publish and as the SALC website continues to develop.

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (known as WCAG) are an internationally recognised set of recommendations for improving web accessibility.  They explain how to make digital services, websites and applications accessible to everyone, including users with impairments to their vision, hearing, mobility, thinking and understanding.  SALC are following this government guidance on how to make your service accessible : an introduction.

SALC are constantly adding information to their website and have now implemented a regular programme of review that aims to test accessibility against design code and content so that the site meets WCAG Level 2.   The programme will involve use of a combination of tools and manual testing to identify potential problems.   There is also a commitment to a whole team approach to help better understand accessibility so as to avoid making making anything we produce inaccessible.

SALC last undertook an accessibility test on 22nd July 2025 with and without the Userway App.   The following actions are underway:

• ALC 24 procedure to be updated to include design styles that, without Userway, are compliant.

• Support call ref T22010 to Junari, with a view to assisting with the management of labelling identified as an issue without the Userway app.  Specifically in header and footer.

• Manual testing on all pages including blogs and knowledge base articles.

• Drawing up of other reviews in line with checklist.

• Upload captions onto new sector films.

• Review all documentation produced by SALC within templates section for accessibility compliance.
