Accessibility Standards & Conformance Target

​

We aim to adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards. These guidelines define best practices for making web content accessible to people with visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive disabilities, as well as fulfilling our obligations under the UK Equality Act 2010.

​

Accessibility Features on Our Website & Platform

 

To assist our users, we incorporate the following accessibility measures across our online learning resources:

​

• Clear Visual Layouts: High-contrast text and clean page structures to improve legibility for visually impaired users.

• Video Subtitles & Captions: Closed captions available on video modules to support deaf and hard-of-hearing learners.

• Responsive Screen Design: Content that resizes effectively across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.

• Plain Language Guidance: Medical and surgical information written in clear, accessible language, minimizing unnecessary clinical jargon.

​

Printed & Physical Course Materials

 

We recognise that digital platforms may not suit every client's needs during recovery. For physical booklets and workbooks, we utilise legible font sizes, clear section headers, and high-contrast print layouts to aid reading during surgical rehabilitation.

​

Known Limitations & Third-Party Content

​

While we strive to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards across all resources, some aspects of our service rely on third-party integration platforms (such as Teachable for course hosting and YouTube for video playback). Certain embedded controls or third-party checkout flows may have minor accessibility limitations beyond our direct control. We actively work with partners who prioritize digital inclusion.

​

Requesting Alternative Formats

​

If you require course resources or exercise sheets in an alternative format due to a disability or impairment (e.g., large-print PDF files or specific digital documents), please contact us. We review all reasonable adjustment requests and will endeavor to provide appropriate formats free of charge.
