Technical information about this website’s accessibility 

The University of Glasgow 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. 

  • Background and foreground colours do not have a sufficient contrast ratio which may make it difficult for some users to read (WCAG 1.4.3)
  • Some pages do not specify a lang attribute, therefore a screen reader assumes the page is in the default language the user chose when setting up the reader. This may cause the reader to announce the page’s text incorrectly (WCAG 3.1.2)
  • Some images displayed on pages do not have alt attributes which means screen readers cannot describe them (WCAG 1.4.5)
  • Some form elements do not have associated labels which can cause screen readers problems when announcing them (WCAG 3.3.2)
  • Heading elements are not in a sequentially-descending order which means they may skip levels and fail to convey the semantic structure of the page to screen readers (WCAG 2.4.6)

What we’re doing to improve accessibility 

In addition to the above testing, we release changes on a regular basis which may include accessibility fixes identified by you or us. All new developments will be tested for accessibility.
