1. Summary

 

On our website, https://www.ucl-japan-youth-challenge.com (our website), you should be able to:

 

  • change colours, contrast levels and fonts;

  • increase text size and zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen;

  • navigate most of the website using just a keyboard;

  • navigate most of the website using speech recognition software; and

  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader.

 

You can use the One Click Accessibility plugin (https://wpaccessibility.io) to make changes to the website and make it more accessible for you. You can find the One Click Accessibility plugin at the top right-hand corner of the page.

 

We have also made our website text as simple as possible to understand.

 

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability, whihc is available at https://mcmw.abilitynet.org.uk.

 

2. Conformance status

 

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities (https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/wcag/). It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. Our website is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

  • HTML

These technologies are relied upon for conformance with the accessibility standards used.
