This accessibility statement applies to the Get into Teaching website.
This website is run by the Department for Education. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website.
For example, that means you should be able to:
- change colours, contrast levels and fonts
- zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
- navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
- navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
- listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)
We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.
The AbilityNet website has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

Technical information about this website’s accessibility
The Department for Education is committed to making its websites accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
Compliance status
This website is partially compliant with the WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) version 2.2 AA standard, due to the following non-compliances.
Non-accessible content
We have two videos that do not meet WCAG 2.2 AA - 1.2.5 Audio Description (prerecorded). These videos are titled “What happens at a Get Into Teaching event” and “Why train to teach in England”. We plan to add audio descriptions to these videos by September 2025. When we publish new content, we will ensure that our use of videos meets accessibility standards.
Webchat
The webchat content is non-accessible for the following reasons:
-
the logo in the header is announced incorrectly for Talkback users. This fails to meet WCAG 2.2 A - 1.1.1 Non-text content. We plan to fix this by the end of September 2025.
-
the webchat is not usable when viewed at 400% zoom as the header and text input take up the majority of the screen and the messages cannot be read within the small gap. This fails to meet WCAG 2.2 AA - 1.4.10 Reflow and WCAG 2.2 AA 2.4.11 - Focus Not Obscured (Minimum). We plan to fix this by the end of September 2025.
What we’re doing to improve accessibility
We are currently working to address the known accessibility issues.
We’ll continue to test the accessibility of this service as it develops.
