Technical information about this website’s accessibility

Jisc is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

Some text and background combinations in the page footer don’t have enough contrast. They don’t meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.4.3 (contrast - minimum). We are working on these and it will be resolved in 2020.

Some of our pages are difficult to navigate using a keyboard or screen reader, eg. one form control is missing a ‘label’ tag. This does not meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.2 (name, role value). We plan to resolve this in 2020.

How we tested this website

The website was last tested in September 2020. The test was carried out by Jisc.

We tested all search interface pages and most supporting web pages, the individual Library Information pages are all structurally the same so a sample of these were tested.

Further testing is planned during 2020 and we will respond to any recommendations that arise from that work.

What we’re doing to improve accessibility

We will carry out automated testing of new features to avoid introducing accessbility problems. We will undertake regular service testing and respond to any accessibility issues identified. We’re also committed to working on the issues above.

This statement was prepared on 2nd September 2020. It was last reviewed on 2nd September 2020.
