Accessibility Statement for Runshaw College
Overview
Our website is designed to be as accessible and usable as possible for every user, based on desktop, phone and tablet compatibility. This accessibility statement applies to Runshaw College – https://www.runshaw.ac.uk/.
This website is run by Runshaw College’s Marketing Team. The Runshaw College website supports accessibility and is committed to ensuring everyone can access the information available. You may find it easier to find the information you require by using the keyword search located at the top right of each landing page, as pictured below.
We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website, which means you can:
- change colours, contrast levels and fonts by clicking on the contrast & font tab located at the top right of each page, as pictured below
- zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen by pressing Ctrl + Alt + the +/- buttons, or, by clicking on your browser’s zoom settings
- navigate most of the website using just a keyboard by using the tab, arrow, back and return keys
We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand. Additionally, all attachments for download are now in PDF format, compatible with most users’ devices.
AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability. External links will be opened in a new browser tab or window to allow you to switch between the Runshaw College website and the newly opened page. If viewing from a tablet or mobile phone, the website is designed to be device compatible, so all text and content will reformat automatically without losing quality/visibility.
We understand some parts of our website are not fully accessible yet:
- You cannot modify the line height or spacing of text
- Some videos do not have captions
- Some of our online forms are difficult to navigate using just a keyboard
Reporting accessibility problems with this website

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’). Our Complaints Policy can be downloaded here or is accessible via our Policies & Procedures page. If you’re not happy with how we respond to your complaint, please contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS).
Navigation and Accessing Information
It’s not always possible to change the device orientation from horizontal to vertical without making it more difficult to view the content. It’s not possible for users to change text size without some of the content overlapping. We’ve assessed the cost of fixing the issues with navigation and accessing information. We believe that doing so now would be a disproportionate burden within the meaning of the accessibility regulations. We will make another assessment when the supplier contract is up for renewal, likely to be in early 2025.
