ACCAC
ACCAC is the Qualifications, Curriculum and Assessment Authority for Wales - Awdurdod Cymwysterau, Cwricwlwm ac Asesu Cymru. Their purpose is to advance education and training through promoting quality and coherence in order to meet the Assembly's vision of becoming internationally renowned as a Learning Country. Their two main roles are: * to advise the Welsh Assembly Government on matters relating to curriculum, assessment and qualifications in schools * to act as the statutory regulatory authority in Wales for all qualifications outside higher education. They also commission publishers to produce high quality Welsh and bilingual classroom materials. These are designed to assist in the teaching of Welsh and other subjects through the medium of Welsh. ACCAC required a site that would meet the needs of all stakeholders including students, teachers, parents and awarding bodies. As a public sector organisation, it was imperative that the new site met the W3C Priority 1 (A) guidelines. Imaginet developed an attractive, content rich site that is fully bilingual with content split into age categories for simple navigation. Performs at a minimum of W3C Priority 1 (WAI-A) graded as detailed in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Paula Dauncey
