Accessibility Statement

This accessibility statement applies to aiethics.turing.ac.uk.

This website is run by the Alan Turing Institute. 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 using browser or device settings
  • zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate most of the website using a keyboard or speech recognition software
  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader

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

How accessible this website is

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

  • PDFs on the site are not accessible. However, this website is intended as a more accessible alternative to our PDFs, and all the content is duplicated in HTML.
  • Embedded content – such as Miro boards – may not be accessible.
  • Images occasionally contain text which cannot be increased in size.

We’ll consider your request and get back to you within 14 days.

Enforcement procedure

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).

Technical information about this website’s accessibility

The Alan Turing Institute 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

The website has been tested against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA standard.

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 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

Within the HTML, heading levels may occasionally be skipped: for example going from H2 to H4. Where possible we try to ensure that proper heading structures are adhered to, but the site may contain some editorial error.

The AI Ethics and Governance in Practice project was originally conceived as a number of PDF workbooks accompanied by interactive Miro boards. This website was conceived at a later date, to be offered as an accessible version of the PDFs. This means that:

  • The PDFs may not be accessible.
  • The embedded Miro boards may not be accessible.

Miro actively look to improve their accessibility, as can be detailed in the Miro platform’s accessibility statement. We have not tested the Miro boards’ accessibility in detail as (a) it may change at Miro’s discretion, and (b) it would constitute a disproportionate burden for the project to find an alternative to Miro at this stage.

The original PDFs also contain complex images and diagrams where text is integrated into the visuals. We have tried to provide alternative text that explains the salient points of  diagrams, and – where paragraphs of text are included in images – created HTML versions of the images that can be understood by screen-readers. Nevertheless, this means that there are occasionally words of text that cannot be increased in size by 200%.
