Interactive services

We may from time to time provide interactive services (“interactive services”) on our site, including, without limitation:

  • Chat rooms.
  • Bulletin boards.
  • Blogs.

Where we do provide any interactive service, we will provide clear information to you about the kind of service offered, if it is moderated and what form of moderation is used (including whether it is human or technical).

We will do our best to assess any possible risks for users (and in particular, for children) from third parties when they use any interactive service provided on our site. We will decide in each case whether it is appropriate to use moderation of the relevant service (including what kind of moderation to use) in the light of those risks. However, we are under no obligation to oversee, monitor or moderate any interactive service we provide on our site, and we expressly exclude our liability for any loss or damage arising from the use of any interactive service by a user in contravention of our content standards, whether the service is moderated or not.

The use of any of our interactive services by a minor is subject to the consent of their parent or guardian. We advise parents who permit their children to use an interactive service that it is important that they communicate with their children about their safety online, as moderation is not foolproof. Minors who are using any interactive service should be made aware of the potential risks to them.

Where we do moderate an interactive service, we will normally provide you with a means of contacting the moderator, should a concern or difficulty arise.

Accessibility statement for LoveLocalJobs.com Limited

We’d like our service to be usable by the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We strive to meet the level AA standards as outlined in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 These are international guidelines that explain how to make web content easier to use for people with disabilities.

Accessibility help

We have made sure users can:

  • Zoom in without text spilling off the screen
  • Navigate using just a keyboard
  • Navigate using speech recognition software
  • Listen to content using a screen reader (including most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and Voice Over)
  • Change colours, contrast levels and fonts
  • Use a ‘Skip to content’ feature at the top of each page (for screen readers and keyboard only users) to move around quickly and avoid repetitive header content
  • All content that is visually hidden (such as inactive tabbed content) can be found and read by screen readers

Our site is built with standards compliant HTML and CSS and is designed to work well on smart phones, tablets and desktop. Some people may get the most accessible experience by customising their device to suit their individual needs – for example: to increase the font size. For further information on making your device easier to use if you have a disability, please visit the Web Accessibility initiative’s ‘Better Web Browsing’ or Ability Net’s  My computer, My way.

Known issues

Right now, even though our service meets the majority of standards and is mainly compliant with WCAG international guidelines there may be some limitations . We are working to fix these but cannot guarantee that all content linked to or embedded in our service are fully accessible. We have listed below content that is either non-compliant with accessibility standards and we are working on it or is a disproportionate burden to our organisation, and we are unable to fix it.

Our Recruiter Services (https://recruiters.lovelocaljobs.com/) has been reviewed and we are in the process of fixing a few identified issues where is does not comply with WCAG guidelines. These issues will be fixed by January 2021.

There may also be accessibility problems with content that we don’t provide ourselves, such as Jobs posted by employers, uploaded documents such as Word and PDF and some third-party technologies. We are unable to fix these issues.

How this product has been tested for accessibility

This product was tested in May 2020. The test was carried out by the Digital Accessibility Centre (DAC). DAC tested a sample of pages to cover the important journeys and different types of content contained in the product.

The approach included:

  • Automated testing using online testing software
