This accessibility statement applies to www.ccpbiosim.ac.uk.

This website is run by Science and Technologies Facilities Council (STFC). We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to (via a button on the bottom left of the page):

  • change colours, size and spacing of fonts, underline links, change cursor size and activate a reading guide line
  • zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

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

Preparation of this accessibility statement

[Note: the wording about when the statement was prepared is legally required, so do not change it.]

This statement was prepared on 22/07/22. It was last reviewed on 22/07/22.

This website was last tested on 22/07/22. The test was carried out by STFC software developers.

At the time of the current review, this website is in development and has just been marked for first release. A set of tests were performed on every webpage using the WAVE Accessibility Tool with all errors and most warnings fixed at the time of development. The technology behind the website allows multiple content creators and we expect over time, standards may fall, but we will endeavor to review this statement and test the site once each year.
