[H1] Web Accessibility Statement
Trinity College is committed to providing web pages that are universally accessible to all users. To this end, new Trinity websites meet a minimum of W3C Level 2 compliance in line with the Web Accessibility guidelines (WCAG 2.0). Websites that are designed by and in conjunction with the Digital and Web unit are tested and validated in line with these standards.
Please contact Digital at digital@tcd.ie if you have any issues with accessing the information on our website or if you wish to provide any feedback or comments with regard to Web Accessibility for the Trinity College website. When websites are correctly designed, developed, and edited, all users can have equal access to the sites' information, functionality, and benefits. Trinity aims to make our websites accessible and usable for people of all abilities and disabilities. Many people use assistive technologies to allow them, for example, to view websites in easier-to-read colours, with larger fonts or as spoken text, or to navigate around a site using the keyboard only. The following items have been prioritised to assist with consistency and accessibility i.e.
Consistent Trinity Header and Footer navigation
Navigation - Website navigation is coded as lists to ensure that all menu navigation can be read by screen readers
The first link on a Trinity web page is a hidden link called "Skip to main content ". By pressing enter on this link, the screen reader will skip directly to the main page content. Many web pages include a "Back to Top" link(s). Pressing enter on these links will take the user back to the main content.
Heading elements (H1, H2, H3), etc. are used extensively throughout the website along with skip links and back-to-top links.
Tables – Data tables include summary attributes and are coded using Row and Column titles.  It is recommended not to use tables for layout purposes.
Images - All images are coded to use an ALT attribute or LONGDESC attribute. Blank alt attributes are used for decorative images such as bulleted-list images, spacer images, etc.
Font-sizing and Stylesheets – Content and presentation are separate with presentation being controlled by Stylesheets.  The default font is set to sans-serif for main webpage content and fonts can be resized in each browser using CTRL +/- in Firefox and View, Text Size in IE (the method is dependent on the browser version).
Forms - All forms are coded where labels are explicitly linked to the relevant input field
