Falmouth Careers (Eploy) Accessibility Statement

This accessibility statement applies to Falmouth Careers, which is powered by a system called Eploy Recruitment Software.

  • We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:
  • access the website regardless of the device and browser you are using
  • zoom in up to 200% 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.

Technical information about this website’s accessibility

Falmouth University is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

Compliance status

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

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

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

  • The colour contrast of some of the text on our pages does not meet the minimum required colour contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text or 3:1 against adjacent colours. This fails WCAG Success Criterion 1.4.3: Contrast (Minimum) (Level AA).
  • Some functionality of the website cannot be carried out fully with the keyboard and may require the use of a mouse or other input device. This fails WCAG Success Criteria (Level A).
  • Moving, blinking or scrolling elements of the home page cannot be paused. This fails WCAG Success Criteria (Level A).

Active work is being undertaken with system architects to resolve these areas of non-compliance.

Content that is not within the scope of the accessibility regulations

This section covers issues that we do not need to fix right now. The law calls these exemptions.

Maps

Our website uses online maps. Where there is a map, the information being displayed is provided in an alternative format on the same web page.

For example, on our contact us page we have a map to show users where our offices are located. If you cannot read the map we also have our address listed and full contact information if you need help finding us.

What we’re doing to improve accessibility

We will continue to review the website to ensure we remain compliant with guidelines and undertake remedial action where identified.
