Making this website easier to use

This website is run by UniWays Global. We want as many people as possible to be able to use it. You should be able to change colours, contrast levels and fonts; zoom in up to 200% without text spilling off the screen; navigate most of the website using a keyboard; use it across devices; use speech recognition; and listen using a screen reader, including current versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver. We also aim to make our website text as simple as possible to understand. AbilityNet offers advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

Known accessibility limitations

Some video content does not have captions, and captions or synchronised transcripts may be automatically generated and contain errors, especially with complex technical terms. Our videos do not have audio descriptions. Some PDF documents are not fully accessible to screen readers, including supplementary CPD course forms needing student and employer sign-off, a small number of non-business-critical Global Sustainability Institute PDFs, and some regularly updated materials that support NHS staff mentoring healthcare students. We are investigating ways to digitise or improve these documents, and aim to ensure new versions are accessible.
