Accessibility

The University of Manchester is committed to making information accessible to everyone, including those with disabilities. This accessibility notice applies specifically to the Greater Manchester Civic University Agreement website.

We want as many people as possible to be able to use our website and we are continually working towards improving its accessibility. We follow general principles of usability and universal design, and endeavour to meet level 2 (AA) of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1.

Our website is designed to:

• meet the WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standard as much as possible

• allow you to zoom in up to 200% without the text spilling off the screen

• allow you to navigate most of the website using just a keyboard or speech recognition tools

• allow you to listen to most of the website using a screen reader

• be responsive and function well on a variety of devices (desktop, mobile, tablet)

Whilst we aim to ensure our website is as accessible as possible, we know some parts of this website may not be fully accessible. For example:

• some videos may not have captions, audio descriptions or only have auto- generated captions available.
