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
The website has been tested against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA standard and is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard.
This website launched in June 2022, following a review of accessibility on 8 January 2025, some accessibility issues have been identified and we are working with our developers to fix them as a matter of urgency.
Non-accessible content
Some images do not have a text alternative, so people using a screen reader cannot access the information. This fails WCAG 2.2 success criterion 1.1.1 (non-text content).
We plan to add text alternatives for all images by February 2025. When we publish new content we’ll make sure our use of images meets accessibility standards.

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.
