This accessibility statement applies to wrexham.libguides.com which is Wrexham University's resource website for information about Library, Academic, Digital, and IT services.

Our goal is to ensure the website is fully accessible and usable for all users regardless of ability, and the WCAG 2.0 guidelines are followed.

Wrexham University aims to ensure that all the content uploaded to the website are fully accessible to all users, including disabled users.

 

The University is in the process of ensuring its pages comply with the AAA standard of the W3C recommended version of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). The University acknowledges that this is an anticipatory and continuing work in progress and, in order to ensure no user is disadvantaged while this work is carried out, the University intends to respond to all requests for assistance with accessibility, by either altering the necessary content as soon as possible, or, if requested, by providing the information in an alternative format within a reasonable timeframe. 

The University will make reasonable adjustments to ensure specific individual needs that cannot be addressed by mainstreamed adjustments are met. Contact inform@wrexham.ac.uk for help with this.
