Work Allocation Model accessibility

This accessibility statement applies to WAMS (Work Allocation Model System).

This website is run by Brunel University London. 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 (most well-known screen readers)

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

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

How accessible this website is

We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible: 

  • The text will not reflow in certain instances
  • Most older PDF documents are not fully accessible to screen reader software
  • Some of our online forms are difficult to navigate using just a keyboard
  • Not all areas are accessible with a keyboard
  • Not all images have text that can be read by a screen reader
  • Some labels may be missing from certain form fields
  • Although possible to zoom, font size cannot be adjusted
  • In some cases, the non-text contrast is not sufficient 

Feedback and contact information

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, please email Strategic Planning at Planning@brunel.ac.uk.

Compliance Status

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to: 

  • non-compliances - this means the content in question is in scope of the regulations, but there’s an accessibility problem with it 

Non-accessible content

We work to achieve and maintain the AA standards of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1.

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

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

Disproportionate burden

We are currently auditing our website and, if relevant, will list here any areas that we believe it would be a disproportionate burden to make fully accessible.

How we tested this website

This website was last tested on 19/Apr/2023. The test was carried out by Brunel University London.

We tested against a representative sample of pages on the platform WAMS.

What we're doing to improve accessibility

Brunel University London is working to ensure that wam.brunel.ac.uk/wams is fully accessible. We are currently undertaking a review of our website and once the audit has been completed, we will finalise a remediation plan.

Staff responsible for content on the website, have undertaking training in producing more accessible content and improving content already on the site.
