Accessibility 

Accessibility Policy – Website Disclaimer

Training for Care (“we”, “us”, “our”) is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to all users, including people with disabilities. We aim to comply with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018, the Equality Act 2010, and follow WCAG 2.1 AA standards, as part of European and global approaches such as EN 301 549 

​

Compliance Status

We aim for full compliance with WCAG 2.1 AA, although certain parts may not yet meet these standards. We are continually working to improve accessibility.

 

Non-Accessible Content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons:

Some images lack descriptive alt text, failing WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1 — we plan to fix this by September 2025.
Some PDF documents (especially pre-2018) are not fully accessible, failing criteria such as 4.1.2; we will progressively remedy or replace essential files by June 2026. 

 

Alternative Access

If you encounter barriers on our site, please contact us at info@tfcscotland.org.uk to request content in accessible formats (e.g., plain text, audio, large print, or Braille) or receive assistance using screen readers or other aid.

 

 Response & Feedback

  • We respond to all accessibility feedback within 2 working days.

  • Where feasible, we aim to address issues within 15 working days, or will explain any delays.

 

Enforcement & Policies

Complaints can be directed to the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), responsible for enforcing accessibility regulations, or via the Equality Advisory & Support Service (EASS) 

 

 Ongoing Improvement

  • Quarterly internal audits and annual external reviews ensure accuracy and compliance.

  • We commit to reviewing and updating this accessibility statement at least annually, or sooner following major website changes, policy updates, or audits 

 

Testing & Tools

Our website is tested for accessibility using automated tools and manual reviews against WCAG 2.1 AA and standards from EN 301 549. We also consult inclusive‑design guidance such as PAS 78 .

This accessibility policy is provided for general guidance and transparency. It is not a substitute for professional advice. We make reasonable efforts to keep the policy current but cannot guarantee complete accuracy at all times.
