Compliance status
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard, due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below.
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons. This was a light touch audit of a small sample page, so is not a full audit of Axiom.
Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations
Home Page
The Language of the page has no set attribute. This fails WCAG 3.1.1 Language of Page (A).
Many areas of the application fail Colour contrast as data is in orange colour on a grey background. This fails WCAG 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum level) (AA).
The Focus order or elemnts is not presented in the correct order. When a user has tabbed on to an element some of these elements are hard to see. This fails WCAG: 2.4.3 Focus Order (A) and 2.4.7 Focus Visible (AA) and 1.3.2 Meaningful Sequence (A).
Some ares of the home page do not allow a user to continue their journey just using a keyboard. Menus can be opened, but not closed via keyboard only. This fails WCAG 2.1.1 Keyboard (A).
A user cannot magnify this application. When you do, from 110% horizontal scroll bars are introduced. From 250% a 3 dot menu appears that you cannot get to using the keyboard only method. This fails WCAG 1.4.10 Reflow (AA) and 2.1.1 Keyboard (A).
There is a table of data on the page that is not presented in a table, so some user groups would not be able to move around the table to find any relevant data, these tables also have scroll bars which cannot be used. This fails WCAG 2.1.1 keyboard (A).
There are charts on the page that cannot be read correctly due to the text being squashed. This is with no magnification. This fails 1.4.1 Use of Colour (A) and WCAG 1.3.1 Info and Relationships (A).
There are NO headings on this page, so navigation would be harder for screen reader and keyboard users. This fails 2.4.6 Heading and Labels (AA).
The ‘Show this years’ budget’ or ‘hide this years’ budget’ are only activated by a mouse click. I cannot use a keyboard press on this link. This fails 2.1.1 Keyboard (A).
There are various clickable icons on the screen that are not big enough to pass minimum icon standards. Minimum is 24x24 the icons on the page are 16x16. If there is space on the page, it is recommended to go bigger than the minimum size. This fails WCAG : 2.5.8 Target Size minimum (AA).
Various tabbable elements do not read correct information when you tab on to them with a screen reader. So this software would be impossible to use for screen reader users. This fails WCAG 1.3.1 Info and Relationships (A).
D06 Screen - more sample data
When a user opens this tab, they are not told that a new tab opens so a user may think they are on the same updated tab. This could confuse some user groups. This fails WCAG 1.3.1 Info and Relationships (A).
None of the edit boxes are labelled correctly. This fails WCAG 1.3.5 Identify Input Purpose (AA) and 1.3.1 Info and relationships (A).
Graphs are not read out. A user is not able to interact with the table. This fails WCAG 1.4.1 Use of Colour (A) and 2.4.5 Multiple Ways (AA).
Any combination boxes that are tried to interact with using keyboard results in the next option being chosen rather than allowing user to cycle through options first. This fails WCAG 2.1.1 Keyboard (A).
When you are on ‘Grade’ – a user does not know what this is or that you can select it to change the graph. Especially if they are using a screen reader. This fails 1.3.1 Info and relationships (A).
A Full Audit of this system is recommended.
Disproportionate burden
At this time, we have not made any disproportionate burden claims.
Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
This section covers issues that we do not need to fix right now. The law calls these exemptions.
Third-party content
Our websites may contain third-party content. We do not have control over and are not responsible for the accessibility of this content, but we make best endeavours to work with the third-party to improve its accessibility. This may include:
- links to non-UCL websites
- content/functionality on our website
- content hosted on other websites, such as social media sites.
To help accessibility compliance across the sector, University College London supports searchBOX, a centralised, independent directory of third-party accessibility information.
searchBOX catalogues the contact information and accessibility statements of third-party suppliers, enables the sharing of community-generated accessibility statements, and allows users to map their supplier ecosystem.
Users can access third-party accessibility statements using the free searchBOX Finder service.
University College London encourages all our partners and suppliers to support this effort by ensuring that their accessibility information is included in the searchBOX directory.
Our testing processes
UCL tested this web application using a combination of manual and automated checks. If you find an issue we have not yet identified, you can report it to us. We’ll pass this information to the web app owner who will review the issue, make sure it is included in our plan to fix issues and add it into the accessibility statement when it is next updated.
