The University of Bedfordshire is committed to making the isort.co.uk website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below.
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
Images
Some images and buttons 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).
We plan to add text alternatives for all images by January 2025.
ARIA Attributes
Users might not be able to listen to some parts of the website using a screen reader. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.2 (Name, Role, Value).
We plan to add ARIA attributes to those parts of the site by January 2025.
Links
Some links open in a new window or tab without warning. Users using a screen reader to navigate will likely not realize that a new window or tab has opened. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 3.2 (Predictable).
We plan to ensure links open in the same window or add both visual and auditory warnings for links that have to open in a new window by January 2025.
Colour Contrast
Some links one the website do not meet the minimum colour contrast ratio of 4.5:1. Some users may find it difficult to read the text. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum).
All links will meet the minimum colour contrast ratio by January 2025.
Headings
Some templates have incorrect heading order. This can be confusing to screen reader users and can make heading navigation difficult. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.4.6 (Headings and Labels).
We plan to add the correct headings to all templates by March 2024.
PDFs and non-HTML documents
Non-HTML documents published before September 2018 do not need to be accessible – unless users need them to use a service
Live video
We do not plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.
We are urgently fixing content which fails to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard. We will update this page when issues are fixed.
