Accessibility

Manuvo is committed to providing a website that sets a new benchmark of accessibility to ensure it can be used and enjoyed by the widest possible audience. We have built the site with this in mind and are actively asking for feedback on how we can continue to improve it.

Our aim is to ensure that as an absolute minimum, this website conforms to the Worldwide Web Consortium's (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, though we acknowledge that some of these have been superseded by advances in technology and web browser capability.

We will continue to review the website to improve its accessibility and usability.

How accessible is our website?

On Manuvo.com you should be able to:

• Zoom in up to 400% 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 and VoiceOver).

We are also making the text on our websites as simple as possible to understand. We write in plain English and explain technical terms wherever possible.

Improving our accessibility

We are committed to providing a website that is accessible to all and we are working hard to achieve that, but the scale and complexity of the task provides a number of challenges. Some content on our websites is not fully accessible because:

• Some images do not have image descriptions.
• Some audio content, particularly podcasts do not have transcriptions.
• Most older PDF and Microsoft Office documents on the website are not fully accessible to screen reader software.
• Live video streams do not have captions.

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

As we continue to improve the accessibility of our products, we are:

• Ensuring that all new components are built to the highest WCAG standards possible.
• Continuing to test our new designs and products with a broad and diverse range of audiences.
• Rolling out accessibility training to staff who create content and new products.
• Raising general accessibility awareness across our work.
