How we tested this website

The Find a tuition partner service was tested by a senior accessibility advisor in the Department for Education’s Technology Services team on 21 March 2023 using the following accessibility tools:

  • Dragon NaturallySpeaking (V15.71), a voice recognition (speech to text) program which requires minimal user interface from a mouse or keyboard
  • JAWS (2023), a screen reader (text to speech) program developed for users whose vision loss prevents them from seeing screen content or navigating with a mouse
  • Zoomtext (2023), a magnification and reading program tailored for low-vision users.  It enlarges and enhances everything on screen, echoes typing and essential program activity, and reads screen content

What we’re doing to improve accessibility

The Find a tuition partner service is intended to be perceivable, operable, understandable and robust to all users of the website and we will strive to achieve this through a process of continuous improvement and regular accessibility tests.
