Technical information about this website's accessibility

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

Non-accessible content

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

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

This website is partially compliant with the  AA standard, due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below.

Older images lacking text alternatives

Some images on older articles from 2018 or earlier do not have a text alternative, so people using a screen reader cannot access the information. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1 (non-text content). A project is underway to update or remove old images by September 2023.

PDFs and other documents

Some older PDFs and Word documents do not meet accessibility standards. For example, they may not be marked up so they are accessible to a screen reader. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.2 (name, role value). As older documents are replaced, they will be updated with accessible versions.

All PDF and Word documents on the website are currently being reviewed to assess whether they are still relevant. As part of this exercise, any documents identified as failing to meet accessibility standards will either be updated to ensure they are fully accessible by December 2023, or removed.

Disproportionate burden

Interactive chat tool

On some pages related to recruitment, we include a third party 'Live Chat' tool. At higher levels of magnification, on mobile devices, this can sometimes obscure other content on the page.

This tool is hosted through third party software and ‘skinned’ to look like our website, and then embedded on it. We’ve assessed the cost of fixing this magnification issue with and we believe that doing so now would be a  within the meaning of the accessibility regulations. We will make another assessment when the supplier contract is up for renewal, likely to be in April 2024.

The disproportionate burden assessment for this issue can be found on our website.

Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations

Live video

We do not plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is .

What we’re doing to improve accessibility

WCAG 2.1 defines three levels of conformance: level A, level AA and level AAA. This website treats WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance as a minimum requirement and aims for AAA. As a result, we apply some level AAA success criteria to all content:

• Images of text are only used for pure decoration or where a particular presentation of text is essential to the information being conveyed.
• Full transcripts or captions are provided for all videos.
• Functionality of the content is operable through a keyboard interface without requiring specific timings for individual keystrokes.

Preparation of this accessibility statement

How we tested this website

This statement was prepared on 23rd November 2022. It was last reviewed on 23rd November 2022.

This website was last tested in November 2022. The test was carried out internally by the Information and Library Services Directorate within the 秋葵视频.

Our testing methodology included the use of automatic tools (notably SiteImprove and the AccessibleWeb browser plugin) to conduct a broad assessment of potential technical issues, combined with manual testing to assess more complex requirements.

Due to the volume and number of 秋葵视频 website pages, non-automatic testing was carried out against a sample of pages. We used this approach to deciding on a sample of pages to test. The sampled pages were assessed to ensure we had covered a sufficient sample of content falling into the following categories:

• Popular Pages (based on traffic numbers or which represent a key part of a likely user journey)
• Complex Pages  (based on reported issues, flagging by automated systems and qualitative assessment by the university Web Team)

The manual tests carried out were the following:

• Keyboard Test
• Colour Blindness Test
• Zoom Test
• Text Spacing Test
• Colour Contrast Test
• Screen Reader Test

A full report was created as a result of this process. Outstanding issues, once identified, were then addressed or have been flagged within this statement.
