This accessibility statement applies to QuickScreen dyslexia test. QuickScreen dyslexia test is owned, operated and provided by an external party, Pico Educational Systems Limited.

Compliance status

This product is not WCAG compliant however Pico Educational Systems Limited have made it as accessible as possible without compromising the functions of the test itself. Some of the features necessary for compliance - for instance that audio should be transcribed on screen – would not be feasible in relation to a memory test which forms part of the QuickScreen test. In addition there are also some functions necessary within the test and which are essential to the way the site works, including not allowing users to go back and re-do sections of the test – another feature required for compliance.

However during the design and development of the site they applied a lot of thought to making the system as accessible as possible – especially to users with visual/reading issues as clearly there will be a reasonable proportion of candidates with these difficulties.

Features implemented to this end include:

• The ability to have all text read out to you at the click of a button
• All instructions shown on screen in text, audio and video formats
• Text size can be easily increased and decreased to get it to a comfortable size for the user
• All text is black on a white background, ensuring the best contrast
• Buttons are large and colourful, with text and icons indicating their purpose

The user can choose to do tests involving typing with a physical keyboard or via a mouse/touch with an on-screen keyboard.

UHI EdShare

Accessibility statement

UHI is committed to making its mobile applications accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

This accessibility statement applies to UHI EdShare, UHI’s open digital platform for educational materials. This service is provided by an external party, the School of Electronics and Computer Science at the University of Southampton.

Compliance status

This website runs on the open-source software EPrints and has been customised for our own requirements and branding. UHI EdShare is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below.

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.

Platform

The parts of the EdShare site which are not fully compliant with WCAG 2.1 AA standards prior to our customisations can be found in a list provided on the EPrints Accessibility information page – Non accessible content. The EPrints Accessibility information pages shows how and when EPrints plan to improve accessibility with their software releases – EPrints accessibility roadmap.

Content

Content labelled as “migrated” may be non-compliant.

Depositors must comply with UHI EdShare's terms and conditions: "Prior to depositing a resource in UHI EdShare, you must make sure it complies with" UHI’s Accessibility Standards. For guidance and training visit the Accessibility page."

Disproportionate burden

We’ve assessed the cost of fixing the issues with content labelled as “migrated”. We believe that doing so now would be a disproportionate burden within the meaning of the accessibility regulations.

Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations

The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing our services. For example, we do not plan to fix any content labelled as “migrated”.
