Where can I find the ACR/VPAT for Digital Theatre+

The Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) is document completed using the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) which evaluates how accessible a particular product is according to the WCAG and Section 508 Standards.

Digital Theatre+ last updated this VPAT report in May 2026, using VPAT version 2.5 (International Edition).

This report includes statements of conformance against the following standards and requirements:

• WCAG 2.2 (W3C/WAI's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) - Level A and Level AA. Level AAA was not evaluated.
• Revised Section 508 standards - the U.S. Federal accessibility standard.
• EN 301 549 V3.1.1 / V3.2.1 - the European accessibility requirements for ICT products and services.

WCAG 2.2 compliance summary

In October 2025, Digital Theatre+ commissioned an independent accessibility audit by Tetralogical against WCAG 2.2 Level AA. A remediation plan was developed in response, and a significant portion of the web-application findings has already been resolved as of April 2026. Work continues on the remaining audit findings, on audio description and captioning for video content (prioritised by usage), and on PDF remediation.

Across the 56 WCAG 2.2 Level A and Level AA criteria, Digital Theatre+ is currently reported as:

• Supports - 24 criteria. These include keyboard operability (No Keyboard Trap, Character Key Shortcuts, Pointer Gestures, Pointer Cancellation, Motion Actuation), timing and motion (Timing Adjustable, Pause Stop Hide, Three Flashes), media (Audio Control, Captions Live), input handling (On Input, Error Identification, Error Suggestion), navigation (Multiple Ways, Consistent Navigation, Consistent Identification), reflow basics (Orientation, Identify Input Purpose, Text Spacing, Images of Text), and the new WCAG 2.2 criteria for Consistent Help, Redundant Entry, Target Size (Minimum), and Accessible Authentication (Minimum). Status Messages are now announced by assistive technologies following the April 2026 remediation work.

   

• Partially supports - 27 criteria. The October 2025 Tetralogical audit identified specific defects in areas including non-text content (1.1.1), information and relationships (1.3.1), meaningful sequence (1.3.2), sensory characteristics (1.3.3), use of colour (1.4.1), captions coverage (1.2.2), contrast (1.4.3, 1.4.11), resize and reflow (1.4.4, 1.4.10), images of text (1.4.5), content on hover (1.4.13), keyboard operability of specific controls (2.1.1), bypass blocks (2.4.1), page titles (2.4.2), focus order and visibility (2.4.3, 2.4.7), link purpose (2.4.4), headings and labels (2.4.6), label in name (2.5.3), focus not obscured (2.4.11), dragging movements (2.5.7), language of page and parts (3.1.1, 3.1.2), on focus (3.2.1), labels or instructions (3.3.2), and name, role, value (4.1.2). The accompanying VPAT documents each item in full, including which have been resolved in the April 2026 remediation.

   

• Does not support - 3 criteria, all related to time-based media: 1.2.1 Audio-only and Video-only (Prerecorded) and 1.2.3 Audio Description or Media Alternative (Prerecorded) at Level A, and 1.2.5 Audio Description (Prerecorded) at Level AA. The product does not currently provide audio descriptions, descriptive transcripts for non-live web-based audio, or media alternatives for video. These are in scope of the remediation plan, prioritised by usage.

• Not applicable - 2 criteria: 3.3.4 Error Prevention (Legal, Financial, Data), because the product does not process legal or financial commitments; and 4.1.1 Parsing, which was removed in WCAG 2.2.

Captions, specifically: approximately 96% of videos that include spoken word have English-language captions, which can be enabled using the 'CC' control in the player. New videos with speech are required to include captions at publication. Digital Theatre+ aims to caption 100% of videos with speech and is working through legacy content.

PDF study materials: several criteria that are partially supported on the web application are reported as Does Not Support for PDFs specifically. PDF remediation is in progress.
