This accessibility statement applies to https://support.eduroam.uk/ and https://map.eduroam.uk/eduroammap.html.

This website is run by Jisc. We want as many people as possible to be able to use these websites. 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.

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

Disproportionate burden


Navigation and accessing information


Some of our pages are difficult to navigate using a keyboard without a mouse/tracker pad.

It’s not possible for users to change text size without some of the content overlapping.

We’ve assessed the cost of fixing the issues with navigation and accessing information. We believe that doing so now would be a disproportionate burden within the meaning of the accessibility regulations.


Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations


Some of our referenced documentation is presented in PDF form and was published by third parties. We are not responsible for this documentation.


What we’re doing to improve accessibility


Whenever new features are released they must meet WCAG 2.1 AA. We’re committed to addressing the issues above, either by redevelopment ourselves, or by raising the issue of accessibility with our third-party vendors.
