This statement relates to webpages accessible by student and graduate users via a web address beginning with https://gradintel.com.
Gradintelligence is committed to making our website as accessible as possible to people with special needs, including those with hearing, visual, cognitive and motor impairments. We are constantly working towards improving the accessibility of our website to ensure that we provide equal access to all of our users.
We have aimed to meet at least level 2 (AA) of the W3C's Website Accessibility Initiative (WAI) Guidelines, and meet as many requirements of level 3 (AAA). For more information, visit Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). This ensures that we comply with UK legislation which includes the disability discrimination act (1995) as revised by the Equality Act 2010, which declares that it is an offence to discriminate against a disabled person by treating them less favourably than others for a reason relating to their disability.
As part of our commitment, we ensure all users can:
We have also tried to make the website text as simple as possible to understand.

We also endeavour to support previous versions as best we can, resolving compatibility issues for older versions where possible.
To navigate through links within the site menu and the main text of each page use the TAB key. Once a link has been highlighted, use the ENTER key to activate the link.
To help users who are using screen readers, we have a skip button at the top of every page which is used to skip the top and left menu, straight onto the main content.
The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they are not essential to providing our services.
Accessibility support for PDFs will only be added on request by our institution partners, in a way that conforms to their accessibility standards.
Some employer, agency or institution users may choose to link content hosted on external websites that are not owned or developed by Gradintelligence. This content may not be accessible.
If you need information on this website in a different format like an accessible PDF, large print, easy read, audio recording or braille, please contact customerservices@gradintel.com.
We will consider your request and get back to you in one working day.
We may pass your request on to one of our university partners and work together to meet any needs.
