Accessibility Statement

Compliance Status

This website is:

• [ ] Fully compliant with EN 301 549 v3.2.1 and WCAG 2.1 AA.
• [X] Partially compliant with EN 301 549 v3.2.1 and WCAG 2.1 AA, due to the non-compliances and/or exemptions listed below.
• [ ] Not compliant with [insert standard]. The non-compliances and/or exemptions are listed below.

Non-Accessible Content

The content listed below is not accessible for the following reason(s):

1. Non-compliance with the accessibility legislation (EN 301 549 v3.2.1 and WCAG 2.1 AA):

   • Missing or insufficient alternative text for some images: While we are actively remediating, some older images, particularly within archived job postings or user-generated content from before June 2024, may lack descriptive alternative text. This can prevent users relying on screen readers from understanding the visual content. We are implementing a continuous process to identify and update these.
   • Limited keyboard operability or focus indicators on certain custom interactive elements: Some custom-developed interactive components, such as specific filter options or advanced search tools, may not be fully operable using only a keyboard or may lack clear visual focus indicators. This can impede navigation for users who do not use a mouse. We are prioritizing the development and testing of these components to ensure full keyboard accessibility.
   • Colour contrast issues in some legacy design elements: Certain older design elements or dynamic content elements may not consistently meet the minimum colour contrast ratios required by WCAG 2.1 AA. This can make content difficult to read for users with visual impairments. We are undertaking a systematic review and update of the site's design system to address these issues.
   • Inconsistent heading structure on some dynamically generated pages: Pages with content generated by users or external feeds may occasionally have inconsistent or incorrect heading structures, which can hinder navigation and comprehension for screen reader users. We are working on stricter content guidelines and automated checks for new content.
   • Lack of captions or transcripts for some older video content: Some older video content (e.g., promotional videos from before June 2024) may not include captions or transcripts, making them inaccessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing, or those who prefer to read content. New video content will adhere to these requirements, and we are working to add them retrospectively where feasible.

2. Disproportionate burden (as per Article 5 of Directive (EU) 2019/882)

   At this time, we have not identified any content or features for which meeting the accessibility requirements would impose a disproportionate burden on Allthetopbananas.com Limited. We are committed to achieving the highest feasible level of accessibility for our services. Should this assessment change, we will clearly state the specific content/features and provide justification and an estimated timeframe for reassessment.

3. Content out of scope of the legislation:

   • Third-party content not under our direct control: This includes embedded content from external platforms (e.g., social media feeds, third-party advertising, or applicant tracking systems used by recruiters where the interface is not directly provided by thebigjobsite.com). While we encourage our partners to provide accessible content, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of these external elements.
   • Archived content not updated or actively maintained: Very old, non-essential content (e.g., news articles or blog posts published before June 2022) that is not actively maintained and is not needed for active administrative processes may not be fully accessible. Accessible alternatives can be provided upon request.

Accessible Alternatives (where applicable): For any content that is currently not fully accessible, we are committed to providing accessible alternatives upon request. Please contact us using the feedback information below to request content in a different format.
