Our Policies

Introduction

This is the official accessibility statement for www.bluestreamacademy.com. We take disability accessibility seriously and our website has been designed to be universally accessible to all as far as practical.

Many standards are intentionally vague and are subject to individual judgement. Some can be automatically tested. We have run a variety of commonly accepted standard automated tests and have manually reviewed all pages. We believe all pages are in full compliance with all available accessibility standards and guidelines from W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI).

Should you feel that any aspect of the site does not fulfil these objectives or gives you any difficulty please let us know and we will do our best to rectify the problem as soon as possible. Feel free to email us at info@bluestreamacademy.com.

Resizing Text

All text can be resized using your browsers view – text size option.

  • Internet Explorer: View > Text size
  • Firefox: View > Text size
  • Chrome: Customise and Control > Zoom > Use + or – to increase or decrease the text size
  • Opera: File > Preferences > Fonts > Minimum font size (pixels)
  • Alternatively, scroll with the wheel of your mouse whilst holding down the control key.

Standards compliance

While there is no official validation tool for meeting DDA Accessibility Requirements, the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) HTML (XHTML) validator is commonly accepted as being a good indicator of accessibility.

This website aims to conform to:

  • W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines – priority 1, 2, and 3 guidelines
  • W3C XHTML 1
  • W3C CSS 2

Design

  • All pages on this site use structured semantic markup. H1 tags are used for main headings, H2 tags for sub-headings etc.
  • Content and presentation have been completely separated. All pages are designed fully using CSS – tables are only used to display tables of data where it is appropriate to do so.
  • For those using screen readers there is the option to skip past the navigation to the content on each page.
  • Link text is written to make sense out of context.
  • Many links have title attributes to describe the links in greater detail. Most links open in the same window. Some links (in particular links to external sites) may open in new windows and there will be a warning in the title tag of the link that a new browser window is being opened.
  • The pages on this website are all print-friendly – a print style sheet has been used to exclude unnecessary design elements.
  • All text is assigned a relative font size – this means that you can resize the text if you want to.
  • All informational images have been assigned descriptive ALT text. Decorative images are either placed in the CSS document or have a null ALT attribute.

Access keys

We don’t use access keys as there is considerable doubt over their real usefulness.

Introduction

Blue Stream Academy Ltd. is committed to promoting a supportive and inclusive culture for all of our employees, customers and learners. We aim to ensure that no job applicant, employee, customer or learner experiences less favourable treatment on the grounds of race, colour, nationality, religion, ethnic or national origin, age, gender reassignment or parental/marital status, sexual orientation or disability. By integrating individual strengths, we will maximise efficiency and creativity, and deliver greater customer service.

Aims

Blue Stream Academy Ltd. will work to ensure that employees are:

  • Treated fairly and without discrimination during their employment, commencing with the recruitment process and have access to promotions when available based on merit.
  • Fairly appraised and rewarded for personal contributions to the organisation, taking into account internal and external comparisons and affordability.
  • Able to work in a healthy and safe environment free from hazards.
  • Able to access opportunities for training and development to develop to their full potential.
  • Supported in balancing work and home life commitments and have requests considered objectively.
  • Treated with dignity and respect in a fair and consistent manner in an environment where inappropriate behaviour is not acceptable.

Roles and responsibilities

Blue Stream Academy Ltd. is committed to promoting equality for all. If an employee feels they have been subject to discrimination in employment, which is in direct conflict with our commitment to equality of opportunity, they should raise this with a director.

All employees have a responsibility to treat others with dignity and respect. If an employee is found to have acted in a deliberately discriminatory manner, appropriate disciplinary procedures will apply.

All employees, customers and learners will be informed that an equality and diversity policy is in operation and are bound to comply with its requirements. This policy will also be drawn to the attention of funding agencies, stakeholders and job applicants though appropriate communication channels.

It is expected that when staff are representing Blue Stream Academy Ltd. in an external capacity, and as part of their role, that they will endeavour to ensure that equality and diversity principles and practices are adhered to.

Monitoring and Evaluation

Blue Stream Academy Ltd. will regularly evaluate its services and the effectiveness of its equality and diversity policy.

Review of this Policy

Blue Stream Academy Ltd. commitment to equality and diversity is an active one. This document will be amended on a regular basis as part of this active commitment.

Blue Stream Academy Ltd. will seek to keep up-to-date with new developments in Equality and Diversity practice and actively seek information on this issue.

 


 

 

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect on 25th May 2018. We have spent significant time and resources, working with expert GDPR compliance consultants in order to make the relevant preparations to ensure that our training, policies, procedures and processes reflect these changes and that we are compliant.

Do organisations who use Blue Stream Academy Ltd.’s services require consent from their employees before allowing the data to be processed?

Whilst it is ultimately the responsibility of the Organisation to ascertain their own requirements/obligations under GDPR; generally speaking, given the terms of the User’s employment, it would reasonably be expected that their data would be used for such purposes as the recording of training etc. negating any need for consent in this instance.

Following the implementation of GDPR, what is the process for users who want to transfer their training records?

Users wanting to transfer their training records to a new Organisation must initially request this from the Organisation currently holding their data, who will in turn provide us with the request.

Following the implementation of GDPR, what is the process for users who want to delete their training records?

Unless specifically mentioned in the Specific Terms, there is no limit on the value of a single prize that may be provided to the individual winners of a Competition/Promotion.

Where prizes consist of entry tickets, attendance at events, holidays and similar time-specific benefits, they must be taken on the dates specified by us (or any relevant third-party provider). Prize winners will forfeit any element of their prize that they do not take at the time stipulated in the Specific Terms. No cash will be awarded in lieu of that prize or any part of it.

All stated prize values are at the supplier’s recommended retail price in pounds sterling and are, to the best of our knowledge and belief, correct at the time of printing.

A failure by us to enforce any one of the terms and conditions in any instance(s) will not give rise to any claim or right of action by any entrant or prize winner, nor shall it be deemed to be a waiver of any of our rights in relation to the same.

 

19.   Exclusion of Liability

 

Except as specifically set out herein and to the maximum extent permitted by law, all conditions, warranties and representations expressed or implied by law are hereby excluded.

 

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we hereby exclude and shall not have any liability to any entrant or prize winner in connection with or arising out of any Competition/Promotion howsoever caused, including for any costs, expenses, forfeited prizes, damages and other liabilities, provided that nothing herein shall operate so as to limit or exclude our liability for personal injury or death caused by our negligence. For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph shall also apply in respect of any prize provided by a third-party provider.

 

In the event that any provision of these General (or any Specific) Terms are held to be illegal, invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, it shall be severed from the remaining provisions which shall continue in full force and effect.
