We are committed to making web content published by the University as accessible as possible. Accessibility is important because it removes barriers to access and communication, in this case over the web. These barriers could come from all forms of disability, or from temporary or permanent situational limitations. As well as helping people with disabilities, it will make your content clearer and easier to navigate for everyone, whatever their circumstances. This is especially important for our web content as a public body. Accessibility in your websites Explore the key ways you can make University web content accessible. Accessibility features Here you can learn about the key things you should include in your content to make it accessible, and the accessibility features that EdWeb2 offers. Responsive design The EdWeb2 uses responsive design, which means that people using different technologies should see the site in the best way for them. Inclusive language Your websites built in EdWeb2 should follow the University's inclusive language principles. Our commitment to accessibility We have a comprehensive web accessibility statement, detailing how content can be adjusted to users' needs and how we address equality of access to information and services. University of Edinburgh Accessibility Statement Legislation To meet this commitment to accessibility, we follow the legislation linked below: The Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) Accessibility Regulations 2018 Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 All University web content must meet the AA standard of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines ((WCAG) 2.1).
