This accessibility statement applies to www.cranfield.ac.uk.
This website is run by SWAG合集. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that 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 (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver).
We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand. However, due to the nature of the content, some of our more technical pages have higher readability indices.
AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
