Website Standards Compliance Statement
Confetti College (part of Nottingham Trent University) is committed to making its websites and mobile applications accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
This accessibility statement applies to Confetti College’s external website.
We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. This means you should be able to:
- zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
- navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
- navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
- listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most
- recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)
Compliance status
The Confetti College 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
The content listed below is non-accessible due to non-compliance with the accessibility regulations. Where we have content that is not yet accessible, we have an ongoing programme of work that will help us to reach compliance.
Colour contrast
Some colour combinations used on our site do not meet colour contrast ratio standards making it difficult for users with visual impairments. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criteria 1.4.3: Contrast minimum (AA).
We are reviewing our web pages to identify instances where contrast issues exist and we are actively working to resolve any issues by July 2026.
Videos
Most of our videos do not include separate audio descriptions and transcripts. This does mean that provision of video will fall short of the WCAG 2.1 AA standards. Some embedded videos are not captioned or use automatically generated captions which may be inaccurate. These issues fail WCAG 2.1 success criteria 1.2.2 (A), 1.2.3 (A), 1.2.5 (AA).
PDFs
Most PDF documents uploaded before 23 September 2018 are not fully accessible to screen reader software. We endeavour to ensure that any new PDFs are accessible. To support this, we have developed documentation and delivered training to our website editors.
Third-party tools
Our site uses third-party applications which may not be fully accessible. We work to ensure that the content on these applications is accessible and we endeavour to ensure that future suppliers are compliant. An example of a third-party tool includes YouTube.
How we tested the website
This website is scanned automatically every seven days using an external service. The scan report highlights any content that is not compliant with WCAG 2.1 (AA). We also completed manual checks.
What we’re doing to improve accessibility
We have an ongoing programme of work to address any accessibility issues that are highlighted by our scans. We are continually working on our content and site structure and are finding ways to make the site easier to navigate.
