Accessibility Statement

UHI is committed to providing websites that are accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability.

The UHI webteam is actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of uhi.ac.uk and the sites developed by the team across the UHI academic partner network and in doing so adhere to many of the available standards and guidelines.

We have undertaken to use our knowledge and understanding of the ways in which different people access the Internet, to develop a website that is clear and simple for everybody to use.

Validation

We have used XHTML 1.0 and CSS that conforms to specification, as laid out by the W3C because we believe that usability and accessibility must have a solid foundation. If anything on this web site does not validate correctly, please contact the Site Administration.

We have also endeavoured to achieve AA accessibility as measured against version 1.0 of the WCAG. We are aware however, that a number of the checkpoints of the WCAG are subjective - and although we are sure that we have met them, there may be instances where interpretation may vary.

Exceptions

Whilst UHI strives to adhere to the accepted guidelines and standards for accessibility and usability, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the website.

Contact

We are continually seeking out solutions that will bring all areas of the site up to the same level of overall web accessibility. In the meantime should you experience any difficulty in accessing the UHI website, please don't hesitate to contact us.
