These people are often called ‘support agents’.Īccessibility experts in our team worked with the Disability Access Centre in Wales to continually review the service. And can they continue with their journey through the service once they’d spoken to someone who’s specifically there to help them. We also wanted to find out if candidates know how to find help when they need it.
This was at different stages of the service from alpha through to public beta. We'd done many rounds of research over a period of 2 years. We also ask applicants to write a personal statement about why they want to become a teacher. In the 'Apply for teacher training' service there are lots of questions about qualifications, experience, careers and requests for references. Accessibility from the start and not at the end Everything we build should be as inclusive and readable as possible. Accessible design is good design and if our service isn’t accessible, then it's not finished. The sixth government design principle, ‘ this is for everyone’, is at the centre of what we do.
Previously we blogged about how more usability in a service brings more diversity, and we talked about the changes we made to support disabled candidates. We are gradually scaling up to replace the 'UCAS Teacher training' service in October 2021. 'Apply for teacher training' is a DfE digital service in public beta, which enables aspiring teachers to find and apply for teacher training courses.
