# What steps has Oak taken to make the website accessible for users?

We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website and our resources, and we are always looking to improve the accessibility of our content to ensure it is as inclusive as possible.

Our lessons have been captioned for ease of use (which can be toggled on or off).

Every video has an option to change the playback speed, so users can change the pace if needed.

We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand, and have included certain functions so visitors can:

- change colours, contrast levels and fonts
- zoom in up to 400% 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).
- view our KS1 maths, science, history, art and design, computing, design and technology and cooking and nutrition lesson videos   
  in our [teacher area](https://www.thenational.academy/) and [pupil](https://www.thenational.academy/pupils/years/year-1/subjects)![Show sign language button ](https://support.thenational.academy/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Integrated%20journey%2026/show-sign-language-button-ij.png?width=238&height=56&name=show-sign-language-button-ij.png)[area](https://www.thenational.academy/pupils/years/year-1/subjects) with British Sign Language (BSL) enabled. Look out for the 'Show sign language' button.

 Lastly, many of our lesson resources are also downloadable, so teachers can make edits where this will help accessibility further.

 

More information on accessibility can be found in our [accessibility statement](https://www.thenational.academy/legal/accessibility-statement).

 

We are always keen to hear feedback. If you have any ideas on how we can improve our offering, please do get in touch via email at [support@thenational.academy](mailto:support@thenational.academy)
