Enforcement procedure

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is responsible for enforcing the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 (the ‘accessibility regulations’). If you’re not happy with how we respond to your complaint, contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS).

Technical information about this website's accessibility 

University College London is committed to making this 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 2.2 AA standard, due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below.

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

Menu button

There is a menu button that is presented at the top left side of the screen that does not activate when enter is pressed. This fails WCAG 2.1.1 Keyboard (A).

Time off List

When a user of JAWS screen reader moves to view the Time off List information of a staff member, using the Headings command to navigate between Time off, Present, Past 3 months, and Earlier moves the page off of the screen. The information is still there, but the user, if they had sight, would not be able to see any information when moving through each section. A refresh of the page rectifies this. Other screen readers do not have this issue. UCL is working with the manufacturer to fix this. This fails WCAG 3.2.1 On Focus (A).

Magnification

When a user magnifies to 150% or above, the My Team information is lost from view. UCL is actively working to fix this issue.  This fails WCAG 1.4.10 Reflow (AA).

Advisory: assignment info section

JAWS screen reader does not currently read the individual information in this section when the user tabs on to it. All other screen readers do. UCL is working with the manufacturer to get a fix. JAWS users can still read this section if use the read by word command (control plus left or right arrow).

Disproportionate burden

At this time, we have not made any disproportionate burden claims.

Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations

This section covers issues that we do not need to fix right now. The law calls these exemptions.

Third-party content

Our websites may contain third-party content. We do not have control over and are not responsible for the accessibility of this content, but we make best endeavours to work with the third-party to improve its accessibility. This may include:

  • links to non-UCL websites
  • content/functionality on our website
  • content hosted on other websites, such as social media sites.

To help accessibility compliance across the sector, University College London supports searchBOX, a centralised, independent directory of third-party accessibility information. 

searchBOX catalogues the contact information and accessibility statements of third-party suppliers, enables the sharing of community-generated accessibility statements, and allows users to map their supplier ecosystem. 

Users can access third-party accessibility statements using the free searchBOX Finder service. 

University College London encourages all our partners and suppliers to support this effort by ensuring that their accessibility information is included in the searchBOX directory. 

Our testing processes

We tested this web application using a combination of manual and automated checks alongside the UCL developer. If you find an issue we have not yet identified, you can report it to us. We’ll pass this information to the web app owner who will review the issue, make sure it is included in our plan to fix issues and add it into the accessibility statement when it is next updated.
