Accessibility

Our Commitment

Catholic Education Tasmania is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone, and applying the relevant accessibility standards.

This accessibility statement applies to the CET Cor platform and outlines our approach to making our digital services accessible to all users, including those with disabilities.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

CET Cor is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

We aim to achieve full WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance and are working continuously to address any accessibility gaps.

Accessibility Features

CET Cor includes the following accessibility features:

• Semantic HTML to ensure proper structure and navigation
• Keyboard navigation support throughout the application
• Sufficient color contrast ratios for text and interactive elements
• Text resizing without loss of content or functionality
• Alternative text for images and meaningful labels for form controls
• ARIA attributes where appropriate to enhance screen reader compatibility
• Focus indicators for keyboard navigation
• Responsive design that adapts to different devices and screen sizes

Assistive Technologies

CET Cor has been tested with the following assistive technologies:

• Screen readers (NVDA, VoiceOver)
• Screen magnification software
• Speech recognition software
• Keyboard-only navigation

We aim to support a wide range of assistive technologies and continue to test with additional tools as part of our ongoing accessibility improvements.

Known Limitations

Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility of CET Cor, there may be some limitations. Below is a list of known limitations:

• Some older PDF documents may not be fully accessible
• Some third-party content may not meet accessibility standards

We are working to address these limitations and improve the accessibility of our platform.
