Accessibility Statement
We want BBGPResources.com to be an educational environment that people can use.
BBGPResources.com is committed to making its educational information and resources as usable and accessible as reasonably possible for people with disabilities.
Accessibility matters because information about bullying, prevention, preparedness, communication, reporting, help-seeking, and related concerns should not become unnecessarily difficult to reach or understand because of the way that information is presented.
Our accessibility work is therefore part of the broader educational purpose of BBGPResources.com.
Our Accessibility Commitment
We consider accessibility as BBGPResources.com develops and changes.
That includes working toward an environment in which visitors can meaningfully access, navigate, understand, and use the educational information and resources available through the website.
Accessibility is not treated as a one-time statement placed in the footer.
It is an ongoing consideration in how information is organized, presented, reviewed, and improved.
Practical Accessibility
Accessibility can involve many parts of a website experience.
Depending on the material or function involved, that may include considerations such as:
clear page organization;
readable text;
understandable headings;
meaningful links and controls;
keyboard usability;
image descriptions where appropriate;
usable forms;
visual readability;
responsive presentation;
and understandable educational content.
These considerations help guide how BBGPResources.com approaches the usability of its educational environment.
If You Experience an Accessibility Difficulty
If you have difficulty accessing information or using a feature on BBGPResources.com, useful information for identifying the difficulty may include:
the page or resource you were trying to use;
what you were trying to do;
the difficulty you experienced;
and the type of alternative access or assistance that may be helpful.
You do not need to diagnose the technical cause of an accessibility problem in order to describe the difficulty you experienced.
Accessibility Feedback
Visitors may encounter accessibility issues that are not immediately apparent during website development or review.
Accessibility feedback can provide useful information about how the educational environment works in actual use and can help identify areas that warrant review or improvement.
Describing what happened, where it happened, and what you were trying to accomplish can itself provide useful information.
An Ongoing Process
Websites change.
Educational materials are added.
Technology changes.
New resources and functions may be introduced.
For those reasons, accessibility is an ongoing process rather than an assumption that every possible accessibility issue has already been identified or eliminated.
BBGPResources.com intends to continue considering accessibility as the environment develops.
Where an accessibility problem is identified, it can be evaluated in relation to the affected information, resource, or function and the practical options available for improving access.
Educational Resources and Downloadable Materials
Accessibility considerations do not end at the edge of an ordinary webpage.
BBGPResources.com may also provide downloadable educational resources and other materials.
Accessibility remains an important consideration in how those materials are prepared and presented.
Different formats can present different accessibility challenges, and not every resource or format will necessarily behave the same way with every device, browser, accessibility feature, or assistive technology.
Accessibility and Different Technologies
Website experiences can involve technologies, resources, or services that do not all behave in exactly the same way.
Where material or functionality is provided through another service or technology, some aspects of that experience may operate differently from content produced directly for BBGPResources.com.
BBGPResources.com can consider accessibility in how those resources are selected, presented, or connected to the educational environment where reasonably possible.
About This Accessibility Commitment
This statement describes BBGPResources.com’s accessibility commitment and continuing-improvement approach.
Accessibility can vary across content, technology, devices, browsers, formats, and assistive technologies.
For that reason, this statement should be understood as a commitment to accessibility and continuing consideration of access—not as a representation that every possible accessibility barrier has been eliminated.
Working Toward Better Access
Accessibility supports the same principle that guides the larger BBGPResources.com educational environment:
People should have a meaningful opportunity to reach, understand, and use information that may help them become better informed and better prepared.
That does not require pretending that accessibility work is ever finished.
It requires treating accessibility as a real part of building and improving the environment.
