This website is run by Jisc. It is designed to be used by subscribing organisations and their assigned users, and we want as many people as possible to be able to use it. The text should be clear and simple to understand. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • 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)
