Accessibility statement

This accessibility statement applies to www.innovation.ox.ac.uk

We have created this website to make it easy for:

• Researchers, staff and students to turn their knowledge and research into real-world applications and optimise their market impact
• External companies and institutional investors to identify companies and IP with high growth potential
• Researchers to share their knowledge, ideas, and expertise with cross-sector organisations
• All users to understand who we are, what we do and how we work

Oxford University Innovation (OUI) is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

For example this means you should be able to:

• Change colours, contrast levels and fonts
• Zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
• Navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
• Navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
• Listen to most of the website using a screen reader

We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

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, email enquiries@innovation.ox.ac.uk 

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). 

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.

1. Some text does not have sufficient colour contrast. Blue link text in breadcrumb navigation achieves a contrast ratio of 3.79:1 against its light blue background. Falls below the required minimum ratio of 4.5:1 for normal-weight text. This fails WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 1.4.3 (Contrast (Minimum) - Level AA). We plan to fix this before the website's public launch.
