Accessibility

How accessible this site is, and how we know.

Written from an audit we actually ran rather than from a template. It names the standard, the date, the tools and the things we have not solved.

Last tested 25 August 2026.

What we aim for

This website aims to meet WCAG 2.2 level AA. That is the level UK public sector bodies are required to meet, and since universities and public organisations are among the people we expect to read this, it is the level we hold ourselves to whether or not the regulations apply to us directly.

What we tested, and how

Automated and manual checks across every page of the site, at desktop and mobile widths:

  • axe-core run against the WCAG 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 A and AA rule sets on every page, at 1440px and 390px. No violations at the time of the audit.
  • Keyboard only. Every interactive element is reachable and operable, a skip link is the first stop on each page, and every focused element shows a visible focus indicator. The assistant opens from the keyboard, moves focus into itself, and closes on Escape.
  • Text resized to 200%. No page scrolls horizontally, and no content is cut off.
  • Reflow at 320px. No page scrolls horizontally at a 320 pixel viewport.
  • Reduced motion. With the operating system set to reduce motion, no animation runs, and nothing that animates in is left invisible.
  • Colour contrast measured against the actual rendered background rather than an assumed page colour, including the gradient backdrops.
  • Forms. Every field has a label. Submitting an incomplete form marks the offending fields, moves focus to the first one and announces the problem.

Known limitations

We would rather list these than let you find them.

  • The assistant is a chat interface. It has been tested with a keyboard and carries the roles and live regions a screen reader needs, but conversational interfaces are difficult to get completely right and we have not tested it with every assistive technology. If it does not work with yours, please tell us — and everything the assistant can do, you can also do by emailing us.
  • Illustrations carry no information of their own. Every diagram on the site restates something the surrounding text already says, and is marked so that screen readers describe or skip it. Nothing is explained only in a picture.
  • Automated testing has limits. A clean axe run means no machine-detectable failures, not that the site is perfect. Roughly a third of accessibility problems can be found automatically; the rest need people. We have done the manual checks listed above, and we have not commissioned an independent audit.

Tell us about a problem

If you cannot use part of this site, please email info@aivomate.com and describe what you were trying to do and what happened. Include the assistive technology and browser if you can, though a plain description is enough. We will reply within one working day and tell you honestly whether and when we can fix it.

If you need something on this site in a different format, ask and we will send it.

If we do not resolve it

If you are not satisfied with our response, the Equality Advisory and Support Service can advise you on your rights under the Equality Act 2010.

How this statement is maintained

The checks above are re-run when the site changes materially, and the date at the top changes with them. Anything we find and have not yet fixed is added to the known limitations rather than left out.
