Technical information about this website’s accessibility
City, University of London is committed to making its website 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.
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations
- Embedded videos do not have captions or audio description. This fails WCAG success criteria 1.2.2 (captions (prerecorded)) and 1.2.5 (audio description (prerecorded)).
- PDFs published since 23 September 2018 do not meet accessibility standards.
- It’s not possible to skip focus past the navigation to the content. This fails WCAG success criterion 2.4.1 (bypass blocks).
Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
PDFs and other documents
Many of our older PDFs do not meet accessibility standards - for example, they may not be structured so they’re accessible to a screen reader. This does not meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.2 (name, role, value).
Some of our PDFs are essential to providing our services. For example, we have PDFs with information on how users can access our services. By September 2020, we plan to either fix these or replace them with accessible HTML pages.
The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing our services.
Any new PDFs we publish will meet accessibility standards.
How we tested this website
This website was last tested on 18th September 2019 by the Web Development team at City.
The team incorporate the WCAG 2.1 AA standard into every stage of development when designing and building new pages. We employ two qualified, full-time user experience professionals, who advise on usability best practice and conduct expert reviews and accessibility tests on every new page template. We test pages macOS, Windows, iOS and Android, with and without screen reader software.
We subject every page of the CitySport website to automated testing with the axe accessibility checker, and we fixed every issue it identified in code we control.
