Accessibility tools and checkers
Website accessibility bar
The university website has an accessibility bar with a range of tools including a read aloud function, screen magnifier and coloured overlays.
This can be accessed from the blue ribbon, at the top of any university web page. Simply select ‘Accessibility Tools' from the top ribbon to choose from a range of options.
Microsoft package accessibility checkers
Microsoft Office has accessibility checkers to make sure your content is easy for people of all abilities to read and edit.
On Word and PowerPoint, the accessibility tracker is found under Review, then Check Accessibility. If you don't see the Check Accessibility option on the Review tab, you might have an older version of the app. If this is the case, select File / Info then select Check for issues which will give you the Check Accessibility option.
To ensure your email content is accessible, select New Email or open your email response in a new window. The accessibility tracker is found under Review, then Check Accessibility.
