Accessibility Information

To ensure this resource is engaging, usable, and can be enjoyed by as many people as possible, we have prioritised accessibility throughout design and development. Please explore our specific considerations below.

What has been considered when designing this resource?

Language

• Care has been taken to ensure information has been written in plain English, where possible

Engagement

• Activities requiring interaction with content on the screen have been prefaced with “Activity”
• Activities requiring interaction with the content on the screen, which is not presented elsewhere, include an “Activity Text Version” which is compatible with screen reader technology. The phrase “End of Activity Text Version” indicates the content for that activity has concluded.

Colour

• Care has been taken to ensure information is not conveyed by colour alone
• Colour contrast throughout this resource has been considered and tested using colour contrast checking tool to ensure maximum readability

Accessibility

• Due to interactive activities, this resource is best suited for larger screens, such as laptops. Resource experiences on smaller screens, such as mobile phones, may vary.
• This resource includes third-party content, including links to other resources, or embedded videos. While care has been taken in selecting external resources, we cannot guarantee their accessibility or availability.
• Clicking on hyperlinks (links) in this resource will open the linked website in the same tab
• Images are decorative unless alt text is provided. Longer image descriptions are included below complex images. These instances will be specified in an “Image Text Version” which is compatible with screen reader technology. The phrase “End Image Text Version” will indicate you have finished the content for that image.
• Images and text content which include a lengthy copyright statement (attribution) may be identified by “Text Attribution”. The phrase “End Text Attribution” will indicate you have finished the content for that image.
