Technical information about the accessibility of this website

Imperial College London is committed to making the Imperial Venues website accessible, in accordance with the Accessibility Regulations.

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons:

Menu subheadings are announced as the menu headings when tabbing through the navigation menu in conjunction with JAWS screen reader.
Some WordPress plug-ins used on the website cause some validation errors due to the use of the type attribute for JavaScript resources. This does not meet WCAG success criterion 4.1.1. As these errors relate to external WordPress plug-ins, we are unable to update the HTML.

We plan to review and improve the website design to meet these requirements by, or before, December 2020.
