In line with our strategic vision of creating a truly inclusive environment for all of our staff and students, including those who have disabilities and difficulties accessing text, Queen Mary is committed to ensuring that all of our digital estate is accessible.
As a public sector body, the university is mindful of the new Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations that came into effect on 23 September 2018 and is in the process of ensuring that our websites comply with this legislation.
With this aim in mind, we are reviewing our existing document templates to ensure that they comply with the international WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standard as required by the new legislation. We are also addressing the content on our virtual learning environment, QM Plus, and advising colleagues on best practice to help the people using our website access its content.
