This accessibility statement applies to the luminate.prospects.ac.uk website
This website is run by Jisc. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:
- zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
- navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
- 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.

Technical information about this website's accessibility
Jisc is committed to making its websites 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
Some images do not have a text alternative, so people using a screen reader cannot access the information. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1 (non-text content). We are addressing these on a rolling basis.
Navigating to buttons within the site may be difficult due to the absence of descriptive text to indicate the function of the button. They don't meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1 (Non-text Content) or 2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context). We plan to address this by the end of 2024.
Some foreground (text) and background combinations don't have enough contrast. They don't meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.4.3 (contrast - minimum). We are addressing these on a rolling basis.
The purposes or functions of some links within the site is unclear because they contain no text. This does not meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.4.4 (link purpose). We plan to address this by the end of 2024.
Disproportionate burden
Layout tables within the site introduce reading and navigation order issues and screen readers may interpret them as data tables.
