Leeds Beckett University is committed to making its websites accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
The study skills modules are partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
There are some instances where the text contrast against the background colour is too low which can make it difficult to read, particularly for people with low vision. This fails WCAG 2.2 success criterion 1.4.3: Contrast (Minimum).
The issues detailed in the Non-accessible content section above will be addressed when the modules are next updated. We are currently reviewing and updating our internal accessibility guidance, and when we publish new content we'll aim to make sure it meets accessibility standards. We continue to check new and updated content for accessibility.
