What we’re doing to improve accessibility

Preparation of this accessibility statement

How we tested this website

This statement was prepared on 21st July 2026.

The test was carried out internally by the Information and Library Services Directorate within the LASE University Group.

Our testing methodology included the use of automatic tools (notably SiteImprove and the AccessibleWeb browser plugin) to conduct a broad assessment of potential technical issues, combined with manual testing to assess more complex requirements.

The manual tests carried out were the following:

  • Keyboard Test
  • Colour Blindness Test
  • Zoom Test
  • Text Spacing Test
  • Colour Contrast Test
  • Screen Reader Test

A full report was created as a result of this process. Outstanding issues, once identified, were then addressed.
