Web accessibility legislation

Overview

The information in this section looks at:

UK web accessibility legislation as it pertains to the University's websites, apps and content
how UK legislation differs from international legislation, and why this matters
what the regulatory criteria are
which content is exempt
how regulatory compliance is assessed and externally audited.

To understand roles and responsibilities in this area, please refer to who this information is for.

The content here does not go into the specifics of how to implement regulatory requirements, as this varies according to the type of material, how it is created and who by, and the location of online publication – this more practical training is therefore provided separately.
