The following items do not comply with the WCAG 2.2 AA success criteria:

Preparation of this accessibility statement

This statement was prepared on 19 September 2024. It was last reviewed on 4 March 2025.

The University of Wales Trinity Saint David’s Web Services team frequently test this Website using the following automated and manual methods:
 

Automated testing

We use Siteimprove, which scans our pages for accessibility errors and tells us which ones are the highest priority to fix.

Manual testing

We use an accessibility checklist to check a representative sample of pages across our Website manually. The tests include checking that our pages can be navigated using only a keyboard and testing any colour contrasts that could not be automatically checked.

The team tested on a range of different mobile, tablet, laptop, and desktop devices using different screen resolutions and web browsers.
