ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

NIHR is committed to making its websites and mobile applications accessible, in accordance with national legislation transposing Directive (EU) 2016/2102 of the European Parliament and of the Council and in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

Compliance status

 

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

Apart from the exemptions listed below, this site is fully compliant with the accessibility regulations.

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). We plan to add text alternatives for all images by March 2025. When we publish new content we’ll make sure our use of images meets accessibility standards.

 

Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations

The following non-accessible content is out of scope of the applicable legislation:

  • Some of the documents and/or embedded content that we link to for additional information are outside our control and may not be fully accessible.
  • Our site contains embedded material. Although the accessibility of this content is beyond our control, we’ve done our best to ensure it’s as accessible as possible. If you require this information in a different format, please do contact us via our details below and we’ll action your request.
