Accessibility

This accessibility statement covers the website of the Medical Research Council Centre of Research Excellence in Restorative Neural Dynamics (MRC CoRE in RND).

This accessibility statement applies to pages within the www.rnd.ac.uk domain.

This website is run by the MRC CoRE in RND. 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 (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

We have 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.

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

• some older (pre-2018) PDF documents are not fully accessible to screen reader software

If you need information on this website in a different format like accessible PDF, large print, easy read, audio recording or braille:

• email info@rnd.ac.uk

We will consider your request and get back to you in 14 days.

We are 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, contact Ben Micklem ben.micklem@bndu.ox.ac.uk.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is responsible for enforcing the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 (the ‘accessibility regulations’). If you’re not happy with how we respond to your complaint, contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS).

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

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the exemptions listed below.

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

Some of the PDFs that are hosted on this website are provided by third parties and, in some cases, have not been formatted correctly to allow navigation by screen readers. We have assessed whether we can resolve the issues with navigating some PDFs, but because the content was combined into the PDFs (by third parties) is not available to us, we believe that doing so now would be a disproportionate burden within the meaning of the accessibility regulations.

The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing our services.

Video content on this site is presented using the embedded YouTube or Vimeo viewer. This is served from YouTube or Vimeo, and it may not meet accessibility requirements, but when the content has been created by the MRC CoRE in RND, we will ensure the content meets the requirements, such as having closed captions for all spoken information.

These embedded video players are provided by third parties, and are outside our control, and we cannot ensure they meets accessibility requirement.

We continue to provide training to new contributors so they submit only accessible content.
