- Diagram created by Alistair McNaught on ‘good faith’ basis. It does not constitute legal advice. Check the Legislation directly to verify your own understanding of these timelines. Websites Image has timeline from top to bottom with key dates (Sept 2018/Sept 2019 / Sept 2020) Across the top are columns representing different assets – website, office files and prerecorded media. The timings for the relevant grace periods and compliance periods are identified (with their timings) for new websites (since Sept 2018) and old websites (pre 2018) New web pages created between 2018 and 2019 need to be compliant by Sept 2019. Webpages created before September 2018 do not need to be compliant until September 2020. New Websites (created between September 20 18 September 2019 ) hosting office files that were created before September 2018 need to be compliant by September 2019 if they are used for active administrative purposes. If they are not used for active administrative purposes they don't have to be made compliant. However all new office files created from September 2019 to have to be compliant. An older website, created before 2018 has to have any content required for active admin fully compliant by September 2020. Non-essential files do not need to be compliant, but all new content created after September 2020 does have to be. Pre-recorded time-based media on websites will not need to be compliant until September 2020.

Extranet / Intranet / VLEs Image has timeline from top to bottom with key dates (Sept 2018/Sept 2019 / Sept 2020) Across the top are columns representing different assets – VLE interface, office files and prerecorded media.

- Differnet people have responsibilities for different requirements: The requirement Procuring accessible tools Procuring accessible content Implementing accessible platforms (eg template choices, branding, navigation) Creating accessible content – VLE pages, documents, presentations, videos.

- Driven from the top Although many organisations try to delegate responsibility for conforming with the legislation down to middle managers, it is impossible to properly prepare for the legislation without senior manager involvement. That is because preparing for the legislation has the following implications Budget implications Quality assurance Justifiable compromises Procedures and policies Training and development Job descriptions The screenshot shows an extract from the Jisc accessibility blog outlining the implications in more detail. https://accessibility.jiscinvolve.org
- The little changes that make a difference Some of the biggest support options are the easiest to implement. Accessible documents Accessible presentations Accessible e-books Rich media Self assessment http://tiny.cc/6tips
- Microsoft Word has four key accessibility tools built into it: by using heading structures and captions or alt text on images you can create more accessible resources. Text-to-speech (ideally, this would be added to the Quick Access Toolbar on all PCs ) Web Layout view. This is a view that allows you to increase magnification as much as you like without having to scroll left and right to see the end of the line. It makes the lines automatically rewrap to fit the page. Navigation pane/document map view; provided the people creating the documents have used heading styles for the headings and subheadings, the navigation pane or document map view will give you an instant navigable summary of all the headings and subheadings in the document. This is a brilliant way of skim reading a document.
