Accessibility

It also tells you how to report accessibility issues, request information in an accessible format, and what to do if you’re not satisfied with the response.

Overview

This accessibility statement applies to the Scratch Less – https://scratchless.co.uk

This website is run by the University of Nottingham. We want there to be no barriers to using it. For example, that means you should be able to:

change colours, contrast levels and fonts
zoom in up to 400% 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 (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)
We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

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