Accessibility Statement for the Imagine ARU 2036 Campaign Portal
This accessibility statement applies to the **Imagine ARU 2036 Submissions Curation Hub and Showcase Gallery**, hosted at the domain imagine-aru-2036.web.app and the staging environment logit-481921.web.app.
This website is run by Anglia Ruskin University. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this portal. For example, that means you should be able to:
- Change colors, contrast levels, and themes (using the built-in accessibility controls popover).
- Zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen or breaking layouts.
- Navigate most of the website—including the interactive showcase canvas cards—using just a keyboard.
- Interact with dynamic elements using modern speech recognition software.
- 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. AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
Compliance Status
Anglia Ruskin University is committed to making its websites 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 non-compliances listed below.
Non-Accessible Content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons:
Interactive 2D Spatial Canvas Layout
The interactive showcase canvas page (showcase_canvas.html) exhibits submissions as cards positioned in an infinite 2D panning workspace. While this canvas has been optimized to be fully keyboard traversable (using Tab cycles, custom high-contrast focus rings, and Enter/Space zoom commands), the spatial grouping interface remains highly visual and may be complex for screen-reader users to navigate.
Bypass / Alternative view: To ensure equal access, a screen-reader skip-link bypass is injected at the top of the canvas page. Activating this bypass skips directly to the Academic Catalog View (showcase_academic.html), which presents the exact same curation submissions in a sequential, fully-structured text format optimized for screen-reader and screen-magnification software.
