Accessibility statement for Teachers: claim back your student loan repayments

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:

  • zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate most of the website using just a keyboard (please note if you are using JAWS you may need to tab into text boxes to enter your answer)
  • 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)
  • use speech to text to enter information (please note if you are using Dragon Speech Recognition you may need to use the DragonPad tool to enter information)

We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
