Technical information about this website’s accessibility
The University of Westminster 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
The website has been tested against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA standard.
(c) This website is not compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard. The non-compliances and exemptions are listed below.
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons:
Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations
- Some pages lack a heading structure, as heading semantics are not provided. Users cannot use the headings to understand the page structure and may struggle to navigate the page content. This fails WCAG 1.3.1 Info and Relationships (A).
- Some (non-tabular) elements have table semantics, while tables lack table semantics. This might be confusing to assistive technology users, as specific keyboard controls are provided on elements with table semantics. This fails WCAG 1.3.1 Info and Relationships (A).
- Some form controls are not properly grouped. This affects the relationship conveyed to assistive technology users. This fails WCAG 1.3.1 Info and Relationships (A), 3.3.2 Labels or Instructions (A), and 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value (A).
- Focus is not visible on certain elements, making the navigation unclear for keyboard users. This fails WCAG 2.4.7 Focus Visible (AA)
- Some error messages are not announced to assistive technology. This may cause users to miss errors in their submission. This fails WCAG 3.3.1 Error Identification (AA).
- There are no error messages present for some elements. Users may not know something has gone wrong with the data they enter. This fails WCAG 3.3.1 Error Identification (AA).
- Some images represent unique information on the page. Due to the lack of alternative text, users might miss this information. This fails WCAG 1.1.1 Non-text Content (A).
- Resizing the text on some pages may cause the content to overlap. Users relying on browser text resize might have difficulties reading the content on the pages. This fails WCAG 1.4.4 Resize Text (AA), and 1.4.10 Reflow (AA).
- The site does not appropriately reflow content when viewed at 400% zoom. As a result, low vision users might miss some information and functionality. This fails WCAG 1.4.10 Reflow (AA).
If you find an issue that we have yet to identify, please contact us using one of the routes described in the ‘Feedback and contact information’ section of this statement.
Disproportionate burden
