We are not at this time making a disproportionate burden claim for any of our website content.
There's no way to skip the repeated content in the page header (for example, a ‘skip to main content' option).
At Kingston University we have undertaken a comprehensive review of our website. This involved our in-house team working with external consultants to identify and prioritise areas where remediation is necessary.
We are currently redeveloping sections of the University's website to improve accessibility and usability and we use Axe DevTools and Silktide to regularly test the website for any accessibility issues against Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1. and working towards full compliance.
Based on what we learn we will put in place appropriate strategies and practices to ensure that we are able to deliver accessible website content for all.
