Enforcement procedure
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is responsible for enforcing the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 (the ‘accessibility regulations’). If you’re not happy with how we respond to your complaint, contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS).
Commitment to Improvement
While schools are partially exempt from accessibility requirements for public sector websites, we must still ensure that essential content, such as forms for Free School Meal applications, is accessible. Given this partial exemption, we believe we currently meet the government’s accessibility requirements. However, we are committed to continually improving accessibility, as outlined earlier in this statement, to ensure an inclusive experience for all users.
The Lighthouse Multi Academy Trust values diversity and inclusion and is committed to providing an accessible online experience for all members of our community. Your feedback is essential in helping us achieve this goal.
