Accessibility Statement

This website is run by PHI UK Directorate, based at the MRC Epidemiology Unit, University of Cambridge. This accessibility statement applies to www.phiuk.org

PHI UK is committed to making this website accessible, in accordance with the public sector bodies (websites and mobile applications) (No. 2) accessibility regulations 2018.

We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • change colours, contrast levels and fonts

  • 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

  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

How accessible this website is

As this site has only just gone live we are in the process of verifying accessibility. However, we intend that all pages should comply with WCAG 2.0 AA and where possible comply with WCAG2.2 AA.

Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the following non-compliances. The content listed is non-accessible for the following reasons:

  • Some images do not have a text alternative, so people using a screen reader cannot access the information. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1 (non-text content). However, any images without alt text are decorative or part of a website's visual formatting, and as such do not contain information. Screen readers will automatically be instructed to skip these images.

What we’re doing to improve accessibility

As this site has only just gone live we are in the process of verifying accessibility and identifying any areas for improvement.
