Accessibility Statement

Wolfson College in the University of Oxford is committed to making its websites accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

This accessibility statement applies to https://wolfson.ox.ac.uk and its subdomains.

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 using browser or device settings
zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
navigate most of the website using a keyboard or speech recognition software
listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

Compliance Status

This website has been tested against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA standard. This website is partially compliant with the WCAG 2.2 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.

Non-Accessible Content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reason(s): non-compliance with the accessibility regulations.

The Instagram Feed on our landing page uses the Flow-Flow plugin, which cycles through the individual images in each Instagram post in a ‘carousel’. As a result, its content can be hard to discover. The Flow-Flow app does not provide options to control the image rotation via the keyboard, adjust the speed of the rotation, or notify users accessing the site with a screen reader of when these images change.
There is a limit to how far users can zoom in on the map that we use across our site.

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

The Flow-Flow Instagram feed on our landing page fails WCAG 2.2 success criteria 1.1.1 (non-text content), 2.11 (keyboard accessibility) and 2.2.2 (pause, stop, hide).

What we’re doing to improve accessibility

We publish all images with alternative text and to provide captions with all video media as standard.
We are working to replace the Flow-Flow Instagram feed with a more accessible carousel option.
