Using this website
This website is run by the Norwich University of the Arts. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website and are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. For example, that means you should be able to:

- Navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
- ‘Skip to content’ using tab on your keyboard
- Listen to most of the website using a screen reader
- Navigate our online forms using just a keyboard
We have also made the website text easy to understand.
AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

Technical information about this website’s accessibility
Norwich University of the Arts is committed to making its websites accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.
Non-accessible content
Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations
While text can be zoomed, it is currently not possible for users to modify the text spacing or line height. This doesn’t meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.4.12 (Text Spacing). We are looking at a way we can implement this in the future.
Disproportionate burden
We will continually reassess this third-party content periodically to see if we can improve this. If you are unable to view this content, please let us know what information you require and we will try to provide this information in an alternative format.
Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
PDFs and other documents
Our older PDF’s and other downloadable documents don’t meet accessibility standards. For example, they may not be marked up so they are accessible to a screen reader. This means they don’t meet the WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.2 (Name, Role, Value). PDF’s and other documents published after 23rd September 2018 and any new PDF’s that have been created have been made accessible in line with the accessibility standards.
