This accessibility statement applies to the website at www.brookes.ac.uk.
This website is run by the Oxford Brookes University. The University is in the process of developing a new website. Some sections of the website have been relaunched on the new system.
We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:
- change colours, contrast levels and fonts
- zoom in up to 200% with text being visible on the screen and most images will scale without loss of resolution
- navigate this website with a keyboard and speech recognition software
- read most of the website using a screen reader or devices without a screen, like a braille computer
- skip links to the main content of a page with a keyboard
- use the website when JavaScript is turned off
We have made the website text as simple as possible to understand and aim for a reading age of a 12 year old.
We use some technical or university terms where there is no easier wording we can use without changing what the text means.
AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability. We also have pages with advice, guidance and links to accessibility tools for students and staff.
We know that some areas will need work to be fully accessible:
- Most older PDFs are not fully accessible to screen reader software
- Embedded third-party widgets do not meet accessibility standards
- Images may not have appropriate alt descriptions
- Live video streams do not have captions
