Accessibility statement for the Office for Students website

This is an accessibility statement for the Office for Students website. It applies to all content available from the www.officeforstudents.org.uk domain. 

This website is run by the Office for Students. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

• change colours, contrast levels and fonts
• zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
• navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
• navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
• listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

The text on the website is sometimes about complex regulations, but we have written it in clear English and made it as simple as possible to understand.

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
