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').
Jisc is committed to making its websites accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018. This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
It is not possible for users to change text size without some of the content overlapping. This does not meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.4.4 (resize text). This website was archived in 2021.
Some text and background combinations don't have enough contrast - especially section 'tags'. They don't meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.4.3 (contrast - minimum). This website was archived in 2021.
Heading order doesn't clearly reflect the structure of the page in some sections. This does not meet WCAG success criterion 1.3.1 (info and relationships). This website was archived in 2021.
Some of our form fields are marked up incorrectly. For example, because some form fields are missing a 'form' label. This does't meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.4.6 (headings and labels). This website was archived in 2021.
There is unnecessary or unhelpful alt text on some images, especially where diagrams are used. This does not meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1 (non-text content). This website was archived in 2021.
Some of our interactive forms are difficult to navigate using a keyboard. For example, because some form controls are missing a 'label' tag. This does not meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.2 (name, role value). This website was archived in 2021.
The accessibility regulations don't require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they're not essential to providing our services.
The accessibility regulations don't require us to provide transcripts for recordings published before 23 September 2020. Though we will provide them for new podcasts, we won't provide them for podcasts published before September 2019.
An internal accessibility check was conducted in early 2020. We are currently working through the recommendations.
Whenever new features are released they must meet WCAG 2.1 AA. We're also committed to working on the issues above.
