Student journey
We have been mapping the entire student journey to identify all of the key interactions that new and existing students are involved in with the institution in order to address as many accessibility issues as possible and attempt to create an end to end accessible journey.
Accessibility approaches
There are several approaches an organisation can take to meet the accessibility regulations, depending on available resource, commitment and other circumstances. This section will outline some of those.
Prioritising services
In terms of providing resource to help – includes audits and training for service staff
Think about:
- Internal or external?
- How much traffic?
- Sensitive?
- Disabled users?
- Historic complaints?
- Has it already been audited?
- What risk/compliance did the audit reveal?
- Does it have an accessibility statement?
Example:
- Main website
- Recruitment system
- Intranet
- Employee HR system
How can you quantify priority so it’s fair and measured, particularly if you don’t have the resources to do everything before GDS come knocking?
