Bishop Grosseteste University Library is committed to making this website accessible in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard due to the non-compliance and exemptions below.
The content below is non-compliant with the accessibility regulations:
2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context)by not holding the full context of the link. The most common instances are links attached to the phrase ‘click here’. These are being systematically updated and contextualised.
The regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they are not essential to service provision. For example, we do not currently plan to alter content relating to lists of prizewinning children’s literature up to and including 2017-2018. If you need to access this content please contact us.
There are currently no items we would classify as disproportionate burden.
This website was last tested in December 2020 by Bishop Grosseteste University Library staff.
Where possible we intend to provide simple text-based alternatives to image-based documents like posters and graphics, as in the case of our annual schedule of opening hours.
