Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
- When using the site search with a screenreader, the options that are read out may not make logical sense. We plan to fix this issue by 2024.
Disproportionate burden
Interactive tools and transactions
- Some forms are built and hosted through third party software, but we try to minimise this for essential services. These forms may not meet certain Level AA accessibility criteria.
- We utilise code provided by YouTube to embed videos into our site. When using a keyboard, the focus is not very clear due to colour contrast. We are unable to change this as it is part of the styling provided by YouTube. Also, video titles can sometimes not have sufficient colour contrast with the background image which YouTube chooses for the video.
Content that is not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
PDFs and other documents
Some of our PDFs and Word documents are essential to providing our services. For example, we have PDFs containing information on university policies and academic regulations.
The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing our services.
Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards, HTML versions will be implemented where possible in the first instance.
Live video
We do not plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.
