Below is list of the things that editors of the College website need to do in order for content to meet and 51³Ô¹ÏÍø's accessibility standards. For each section there are also links to guidance on how to meet this standard.
Images and audio visual content
- All images that provide additional information, must have appropriate alternative text (alt-text) added. If the image is only for decorative images then the alt text should be blank.
- All complex images e.g. infographic or chart have a text alternative provided in context (e.g. below the image) or on a separate linked page
- Images of text are not used if text alone can be used to present the information
- All videos must have a clear description or caption that describes the main purpose of the video.
Guidance
Headings and page titles
- Correct heading styles are used for content sections
- The web page has a descriptive and informative page title
- Headings are clear, informative and unique (i.e. avoid having two heading 2 with the same name)
Guidance

Links

- The same link text is not used to go to different destinations
Guidance
Documents

- All downloadable documents are published as accessible PDFs
Guidance
