Accessibility statement for Merton Schools CPD Event Booking

This accessibility statement applies to the Merton Schools CPD Event Booking website.

This website is run by Merton Council. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

• change colours, contrast levels and fonts using the options on your computer
• 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)

We have also aimed to make the website text as clear and simple as possible to understand.

How accessible this website is

We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible:

• Some buttons and text elements do not meet the WCAG 2.2 AA minimum contrast ratio, affecting visibility for users with visual impairments.
• Not all form elements have associated labels, which may cause difficulties for screen reader users and those relying on assistive technology.
• The focus indicator for some search filter fields has insufficient contrast against the background, making it hard to see when navigating by keyboard.
