Technical information about this website’s accessibility

This website is to a great extent compatible with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1, level AA.

Known accessibility issues of the website

As the website comprises many thousands of pages and is managed by a large number of editors, it is difficult to completely avoid minor accessibility errors on individual pages. However, the ambition is to make all pages as accessible as possible.

Known accessibility issues on the website are described below:

• The floor selector in embedded indoor maps does not have high enough colour contrast.
• Pages in the Staff Gateway do not start with a level 1 heading for those not logged in.
• Some linked documents lack proper labelling of headings, lack descriptive text for images or lack document title.
• Some pages have text that is not part of an ARIA landmark.
• Some pages have forms with grouped form elements without a machine-readable label.
  

Continuous improvements are made through system development, training of university web editors and quality assurance using specialised tools.

How we tested the website
