    • The content does not adapt to varying screen sizes 
    • The site has not been optimised for screen readers 
    • The colours of the site have not been chosen with accessibility in mind

    Email: webmaster@magd.ox.ac.uk 

    Write: The Webmaster, Magdalen College, Oxford, OX1 4AU, United Kingdom

    Phone: +44 (0)1865 276000 

     We’ll consider your request and get back to you in 7 days. If you cannot view the map on our ‘contact us’ page, call us on 44 (0)1865 27600 or email us webmaster@magd.ox.ac.uk for directions. 

    Reporting accessibility problems with this website 

    We’re always looking to improve the accessibility of this website. If you find any problems not listed on this page or think we’re not meeting accessibility requirements, contact: webmaster@magd.ox.ac.uk 

    Enforcement procedure 

    The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is responsible for enforcing the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 (the ‘accessibility regulations’). If you’re not happy with how we respond to your complaint, contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS). 

    Contacting us by phone or visiting us in person

    Technical information about this website’s accessibility 

    Magdalen College is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018. 

    Compliance status  

    This website is not compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard. The non-compliances and exemptions are listed below. 

    Non-compliances: 

    • Text styling cannot be adjusted with custom styling 
    • Colours must have enough colour contrast 
    • Not all elements have aria labels 
    • Images do not have alternative text 
    • It’s not always possible to view the content of the site in narrow browser views (reflow) 
    • It’s not possible to control all functionality of the website through a keyboard interface 

    Exemptions: 

    • pre-recorded audio and video published before 23 September 2020 
    • PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 – unless users need them to use a service, for example a form that lets you request school meal preferences 
    • heritage collections like scanned manuscripts 

    Non-accessible content 

    We know some parts of this website aren’t fully accessible.  

     A lot of the text has not been written with web accessibility in mind, this includes lack of plain English, marking up content semantically for screen readers and missing helpful link text. Most images don’t have text alternatives and video on the site isn’t optimised for accessibility. 

     In many cases it’s not possible to reliably navigate the site with your keyboard and the content of the site doesn’t adapt well to varying screen sizes making it difficult to read the site in some browsers. These factors and others also mean that the site has not been optimised for screen readers.  

     The colours of the site and the site typography have not been chosen with accessibility in mind. 

    We are conducting tests of the website so we can highlight other accessibility issues in this statement. If you find a page with an accessibility issue, not mentioned here or in our identified non-compliances statement, please email webmaster@magd.ox.ac.uk so we can investigate. 

    Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations 

    PDFs and other documents 

    Some of our PDFs and Word documents are essential to providing our services. For example, we have PDFs with information on how users can access our services, and forms published as Word documents. By spring 2021, we plan to either fix these or replace them with accessible HTML pages. 

    The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing our services. 

    Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards. 

    Live video 

    We do not plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations. 

    What we’re doing to improve accessibility 

    We are currently in the process of rebuilding the site in order to meet the WCAG 2.1 AA standard. We expect the new website to be live by spring 2021.  

    Preparation of this accessibility statement 

    This statement was prepared on 24/08/2020. This website was last tested on 19/08/2020. The test was carried out by One Ltd.
