1. Our Commitment to Accessibility

NextStep Scotland is committed to making our website accessible to as many people as possible. We aim to ensure that everyone, including people with disabilities, can access information about our services and engage with us easily.

​

We recognise the importance of digital inclusion, particularly for young people who may be accessing employment opportunities online.

​

2. Accessibility Standards

We aim to make our website accessible in line with:

  • The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA where reasonably possible

  • The Equality Act 2010, which requires reasonable adjustments to be made for disabled users

​

While we are a small organisation, we take accessibility seriously and work to improve our website over time.

​

3. Measures We Take

To improve accessibility, we aim to:

  • Use clear, simple language throughout the website

  • Ensure text is readable and has sufficient colour contrast

  • Make the website navigable using a keyboard

  • Use accessible fonts and layouts

  • Ensure forms are clear and easy to complete

  • Provide alternative text for images where appropriate

​

4. Known Limitations

We acknowledge that some parts of the website may not yet be fully accessible. For example:

  • Older content or third-party tools may not fully meet accessibility standards

  • Some documents may not be available in accessible formats

​

We are actively working to identify and address any accessibility barriers.

​
