Accessibility statement for OneTrust Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) and Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) Automation website

This accessibility statement applies to https://my.onetrust.com/.

This website is run by The University of Manchester. 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 using browser or device settings
  • zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate most of the website using a keyboard or speech recognition software
  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

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

How accessible this website is

We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible:

  • Some relationships conveyed visually are not programmatically determinable.
  • Reading order may not always match visual order.
  • Instructions sometimes rely on shape, size, or visual location.
  • Some text elements may not meet minimum contrast requirements.
  • Content may not reflow properly when text is resized.
  • Horizontal scrolling may be required at 400% zoom.
  • Some interactive elements may not be fully operable via keyboard.
  • Focus order may not always follow a logical sequence.
  • Focus indicator is missing or insufficient in some components.
  • Some form fields lack clear labels or instructions.
  • Some custom components do not expose name/role/value to assistive tech.

Enforcement procedure

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is responsible for enforcing the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 (the ‘accessibility regulations’). If you’re not happy with how we respond to your complaint, contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS).

Technical information about this website’s accessibility

The University of Manchester is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

Compliance status

The website has been tested against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA standard.

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.

Non-accessible content

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

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

1.3.1 Info and relationships

When visual relationships such as headings, labels, or groupings are not programmatically conveyed, users relying on assistive technologies may miss critical structural information. This can lead to confusion when navigating forms, tables, or grouped content, especially for screen reader users who depend on semantic markup to understand page layout. This fails WCAG success criterion 1.3.1 (Info and Relationships).

1.3.2 Meaningful sequence

If the reading order of content does not match the visual presentation, users navigating with screen readers may receive information out of context or in a confusing sequence. This disrupts comprehension and can make tasks like completing forms or following instructions unnecessarily difficult. This fails WCAG success criterion 1.3.2 (Meaningful Sequence).

1.3.3 Sensory characteristics

When instructions rely solely on visual cues—such as “click the red button” or “see the icon in the top right”—users with visual impairments or those using screen readers may not be able to follow them. This can prevent access to key functionality or content. This fails WCAG success criterion 1.3.3 (Sensory Characteristics).

1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum)

Text that lacks sufficient contrast against its background can be difficult to read for users with low vision or color blindness. This can result in missed information, especially in navigation menus, buttons, or form labels. This fails WCAG success criterion 1.4.3 (Contrast (Minimum).

1.4.4 Resize Text

When text is resized up to 200% or more, it may overflow, overlap, or become clipped, making it unreadable. Users with low vision who rely on larger text settings may struggle to access content or complete tasks. This fails WCAG success criterion 1.4.4 (Resize Text).

1.4.10 Reflow

If content requires horizontal scrolling at 400% zoom, users with low vision or those using magnification tools may find it difficult to read and interact with the site. This disrupts usability and can exclude users from accessing full content. This fails WCAG success criterion 1.4.10 (Reflow).

2.1.1 Keyboard

When interactive elements are not fully operable via keyboard, users who rely on keyboard navigation—including those with motor impairments—may be unable to complete forms, activate buttons, or access dropdowns. This fails WCAG success criterion 2.1.1 (Keyboard).

2.4.3 Focus Order

If the focus order does not follow a logical sequence, users navigating with a keyboard or screen reader may jump unpredictably between elements. This can cause confusion and hinder task completion. This fails WCAG success criterion 2.4.3 (Focus Order).

2.4.7 Focus Visible

When the focus indicator is missing or insufficient, users navigating via keyboard may not know which element is currently active. This can lead to errors and frustration, especially in forms or multi-step processes. This fails WCAG success criterion 2.4.7 (Focus Visible).

3.3.2 Labels or Instructions

Form fields without clear labels or instructions can confuse users, especially those using screen readers. This may result in incorrect input or an inability to complete forms altogether. This fails WCAG success criterion 3.3.2 (Labels or Instructions).

4.1.2 Name, Role, Value

When custom components do not expose their name, role, or value to assistive technologies, users may not understand what the element is or how to interact with it. This can block access to critical functionality. This fails WCAG success criterion 4.1.2 (Name, Role, Value).

We are working with the vendor of this website to remediate, mitigate, or provide alternative versions of the content affected by the issues outlined above.

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

(Note: in this subsection list accessibility problems that fall outside the scope of the accessibility regulations.)

PDFs and other documents

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.

Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.

Live video

We do not plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.

What we’re doing to improve accessibility

The University of Manchester is committed to improving digital inclusion, ensuring that everyone has equitable access to information, technology, resources, and opportunities for learning and engagement, regardless of ability. We are undertaking a program of activity working with our Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Division and Disability Advisory and Support Service to improve digital experiences for users with disabilities.

Preparation of this accessibility statement

This statement was prepared on 20/08/2025.

It was last reviewed on 20/08/2025.

This website was last tested on 01/06/2025 against the WCAG 2.2 AA standard.

The website was tested by the vendor, and a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) was created. The WCAG testing information was then used to populate this accessibility statement. Issues that were marked as 'partially supports' or 'not supported' in the VPAT were included in the 'Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations'.
