Accessibility Statement
This statement was last updated on 10/03/2025.
At Netropolitan Academy, we are committed to ensuring that our website, www.netropolitan.xyz, is accessible to everyone, including disabled people. We recognise that accessibility is not just about individual ability but about removing barriers that society and technology create. Our goal is to make learning and engagement on our platform seamless for all users.
What Accessibility Means
An accessible website ensures that disabled people can navigate, understand, and interact with content without barriers. This means designing an online experience that works with assistive technologies like screen readers, keyboard navigation, and other tools that support diverse ways of accessing information.
Our Accessibility Commitments
We have taken steps to make our website as inclusive as possible, following WCAG 2.1 AA standards. This includes:
-
✔ Clear, structured headings to support easy navigation
✔ Alternative text for images and visual content
✔ High-contrast colour combinations for readability
✔ Compatibility with screen readers and keyboard-only navigation
✔ Minimised motion effects to prevent sensory discomfort
✔ Captions or transcripts for video and audio content
✔ Accessible form fields and interactive elements
Third-Party Content
Some parts of our website may include third-party content that we do not control. While we strive to ensure accessibility across all pages, external platforms or embedded content may not fully meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards. If you experience any accessibility barriers due to third-party content, please let us know.
Beyond Digital: Accessibility in Learning
Netropolitan Academy is a digital-first platform, but when we host in-person events or workshops, we prioritise accessibility. This includes choosing venues with step-free access, assistive listening devices, and flexible seating arrangements to ensure inclusion for all participants.
