This website is run by the University of Lincoln, and we want everyone using our website to have as good an experience as possible.
We have therefore applied the following accessibility standards to ensure that all users, either directly from their browser, using a plugin or assistive technology can navigate the site and access its content.

You can change the colours and contrast levels using the default controls within your browser. You can also change the font and magnify the page to a maximum of 300% without text or links spilling off the screen.
Navigating
The web page can be navigated using keyboard controls. Links are highlighted by a change in border colour when highlighted. Use your keyboard to skip links. Users of screen readers can also get a list of all links on a page and understand their purpose from the link text. You may also use the ‘Skip to content’ button located at the top of each page.

How accessible is this website?
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. The guidelines define three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 A standard, due to the non-compliances listed below. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.
We know that certain aspects of this website may prevent it from being fully accessible:
Images & video
Image content will be uploaded as JPEG or PNG and will be accompanied by alternative text. Alternative used on all images will describe what is being visually represented, not the meaning or interpretation of any artwork.
Please do notify us via animalbehaviour@lincoln.ac.uk if you experience any issues with visual content on this site.
Errors and Alerts flagged in our testing
Testing was carried out in August 2020.
Non-Text – We have information on the web saved as PDF documents, our Privacy Policy, Terms and Conditions and Information on Clinical Case based research. The PDFs have an alternative text entry of ‘PDF document’.
Colour contrast – The colour of the text and the colour of the background are not in sufficient contrast to each other for some of the headings (see viewing under User Controls above for how to adjust this).
Redundant links – Certain pages within this site contain duplicate links to the same page. This has been done to give users viewing the site easier access to these pages. Where appropriate, an aria-label has been added to give a fuller description for these links.
