Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment

The Kerio Valley University College (KVUC) is committed to ensuring that its website and digital services are accessible to as many users as possible, including persons with disabilities.

We aim to provide information and online services in a clear, usable and accessible manner across a range of devices, browsers and assistive technologies.

Accessibility Standards

We work towards improving the accessibility of this website in accordance with recognised web accessibility principles and applicable accessibility requirements.

Our development approach takes into consideration the principles of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), including:

• Content that can be perceived by users.
• Interfaces and navigation that can be operated by different users.
• Information and functionality that are understandable.
• Web content that works reliably across different browsers, devices and assistive technologies.

Accessibility Features

We are working to incorporate accessibility features throughout the KVUC website. These may include:

Accessibility Options on Every Page

Every page has a round blue Accessibility options button at the bottom left of the screen. It opens a panel where you can:

• Change the text size up to 150%.
• Change the colours: high contrast (dark), high contrast (light) or grayscale.
• Use a readable font that many readers with dyslexia find easier, and wider text spacing.
• Highlight links so they stand out from other text.
• Show a reading guide, a bar that follows the pointer to help you keep your place.
• Use a big cursor.
• Stop animations, including the moving homepage slides.
• Hide images to reduce distraction.
• Read the page aloud, where your browser supports speech.

Your choices are remembered in this browser on every page until you press Reset all. They are not sent to KVUC.

Other help built into the website

• A Skip to main content link, the first thing keyboard users reach on each page.
• The homepage slides can be controlled with the keyboard and stop moving if your device is set to reduce motion.
• The language menu at the top of every page translates the website into Kiswahili and 25 other languages.
• Ask KVUC, the chat button at the bottom right, answers questions about the College in English or Kiswahili.

Assistive Technologies

The website is intended to support users who access digital content using assistive technologies such as screen readers, keyboard navigation and browser accessibility features.

Accessibility can vary depending on the browser, operating system, device and assistive technology being used.

Accessible Content

We aim to make website content easy to understand and navigate by using meaningful headings, descriptive links, readable text and logical page structures.

Where documents such as forms, reports or downloadable publications are provided, we will make reasonable efforts to improve their accessibility.

Known Accessibility Limitations

Some older documents, third-party content or legacy materials may not fully meet current accessibility expectations.

We are working to identify and improve accessibility limitations as website content and digital services are reviewed and updated.
