Entelechy Academy is open to all those who look to learn within a supportive community. We aim to provide and supportive and empathetic space where all learners are welcome. In particular, we aim to treat every learner equally, regardless of their age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation.

Aims

We are committed to creating an online experience that is accessible to all. Our developers and designers are briefed to create an inclusive online environment, using WCAG standards as a baseline.

We will ensure our site has the accessibility measures in place. For example, that means you should be able to:

change colours, contrast levels and fonts

zoom in up to 300% 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)

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

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

Accessibility

Entelechy Academy is designed and delivered by learners for our community of learners. We design and develop our experience with a range of people in mind.

Entelechy Academy is open to new ideas, and particularly prioritise opportunities for learners to share their cultural heritage and have this influence our ideas moving forward.

Diversity

All learners should be made to feel equally welcome and included on the Entelechy Academy platform.

Sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic or otherwise offensive and inflammatory remarks and behaviour are not acceptable. These constitute harassment, and have no place on the Entelechy platform. We will uphold a zero-tolerance approach to such behaviour, as laid out in the Entelechy Academy Safeguarding Policy.

Inclusion and respect

If any learner feels they have been discriminated against by Entelechy Academy or by one of its learners, it should be reported immediately to 

Entelechy Academy will investigate the complaint, listening to all members involved.

If the complaint is against a particular individual, this person will have the opportunity to express their point of view.The person making the complaint will also have this opportunity.

If the complaint is against Entelechy Academy, we must work to ensure that such discrimination is not repeated in the future, and must inform the learner reporting the discrimination of how we propose to do this.

Any decision to exclude a person from the organisation due to discriminatory or harassing behaviour will be made with reference to the Entelechy Academy Safeguarding Policy. Entelechy Academy will support people who feel they have been harassed or discriminated against, directing them to appropriate organisations that can assist with any adverse impacts of this discrimination.

This policy will be reviewed annually on March 1st. Next review date 01/03/2023.
