Accessibility statement for the Target 2035 (www.target2035.net)
The University of Oxford is committed to providing an accessible web presence that gives members of the public and members of the University community full access to University information, courses and activities offered publicly through the web. Our Equality Policy outlines our commitment to a culture which ‘maintains a working, learning and social environment in which the rights and dignity of all its staff and students are respected’.
This accessibility statement applies to the Target 2035 website - https://www.target2035.net/.
This website is run by the Centre for Medicines Discovery, Research Informatics team. 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 (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.
How accessible this website is
We are aware that some parts of our website are not fully accessible. These include:
- Some links are not visually evident without colour vision. This can limit the site’s accessibility for people who cannot perceive colour differences. This fails the WCAG 2.1 success criterion on 1.4.1.
- Tables do not use header elements or other appropriate table mark-up. This fails the WCAG 2.1 success criterion on 1.3.1.
