Technical information about this website’s accessibility 

Norwich University of the Arts is committed to making its websites accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018. 

This website is mostly compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 (opens in a new window) AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below. 

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations 

While text can be zoomed, it is currently not possible for users to modify the text spacing or line height. This doesn’t meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.4.12 (Text Spacing). We are looking at a way we can implement this in the future. 

Disproportionate burden 

Some of our content is not accessible due to incomplete markup. This content doesn’t meet the following WCAG 2.1 success criterion: 

  • 3.3.2 Labels or Instructions 
  • 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value 

We will continually reassess this third-party content periodically to see if we can improve this. If you are unable to view this content, please let us know what information you require and we will try to provide this information in an alternative format.
