Accessibility on Keystone Education Group website

for keg.com

Keystone Education Group is responsible for this website. Our aim is to make www.keg.com usable and accessible for as many people as possible. We’re committed to complying with WCAG 2.1 AA standards and are actively working on improvements, following a self-audit, primarily using the WAVE Website Accessibility Evaluation Tool and manual testing.

Accessibility Status

Based on the WCAG 2.1 AA audit, the website Partially Supports WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA. This means that while many features support accessibility standards, several key areas still need improvement to fully meet WCAG 2.1 AA.

Known Accessibility Issues

Non-Text Content

Missing, long or unclear alt text on images and icons (1.1.1.)
Some page elements, such as those used for social media icons, footers, SVGs, or decorative links may be empty of textual descriptions for screen readers. (2.4.4)
Inconsistent or redundant descriptions for screen reader users (1.1.1)

Visual Design & Contrast

Text and UI elements, for example, text on buttons, video controls, and text links, do not consistently meet minimum contrast requirements (1.4.3)
Layout issues when zooming and on mobile screens (1.4.10)

Structure & Semantics

Some pages use headings in a non-sequential order, which may impact navigation and understanding for users relying on assistive technologies (1.3.1, 2.4.6)
Some table layouts, used for visual arrangement, may be inconsistent, which may not be interpreted correctly by assistive technologies (1.3.1)

Forms & Feedback

Missing form labels or instructions on some forms, making it inconsistent for screen readers (3.3.2)
Headings and labels on form controls such as CAPTCHA lack proper labelling so that they make sense to screen readers (2.4.6)
Error messages not announced to screen reader users on some forms (3.3.1, 4.1.3)
Some required fields are not clearly marked (3.3.2)
Confirmation messages may not all be conveyed to assistive technologies (4.1.3)

Multimedia

Videos are lacking captions and transcripts – embedded videos have no captions or transcripts (1.2.3)
Audio is lacking text alternatives and text descriptions used by assistive technologies (1.2.5)

Navigation & Focus

Missing or hard-to-see focus indicators on interactive elements (2.4.7)

Keyboard & Interaction

Some elements are not accessible by keyboard (2.1.1)

We recognize the importance of user feedback and are implementing a reporting feature this Summer.

Planned Improvements

We are currently working on the following improvements:

June: Implement a feedback form to report accessibility issues.
July – November: Keg.com will undergo a redevelopment and redesign; therefore, we will address most of the known issues throughout this process and embed accessibility compliance to WCAG 2.1 AA standards as part of this new website redevelopment.
August: Define a plan for adopting a new UI library with accessibility in mind.
December: Solve 80% of the audit issues on keg.com
Ongoing: Work with colleagues across the group to define accessibility guidelines and best practices across Keystone.
