+
+This statement applies to content published on [https://vtss.doc.ic.ac.uk](https://vtss.doc.ic.ac.uk).
+
+We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:
+
+- Navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
+- Listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver).
+- Resize to the size of your window, and display a readable text size whichever device you are using
+- Zoom in up to 175% without the text spilling off the screen
+
+[AbilityNet](https://mcmw.abilitynet.org.uk/) also has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
+
+## How accessible the website is
+
+Parts of this website are not fully accessible. For example:
+- some pages have poor colour contrast
+- some heading elements are not consistent
+- some images do not have good alternative text
+- some buttons are not correctly identified
+- many older documents in PDF format are not fully accessible
+- some tables do not have row headers
+- What we do about known issues
+
+We work to achieve and maintain [WCAG 2.1 AA standards](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/), but it is not always possible for all our content to be accessible. Where content is not accessible, we will state a reason, warn users and offer alternatives.
+
+## Technical information about this website’s accessibility
+
+As part of Imperial College London, we are committed to making its website accessible in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
+
+This website is partially compliant with the [Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/), due to the known issues listed below.
+
+## Non accessible content
+
+We are currently carrying out accessibility testing on different aspects of the website. Once this is complete, we will update this section with any areas of the website which do not meet accessibility standards.
+
+The content that is not accessible is outlined with details of:
+- where it fails the success criteria
+- planned dates for when issues will be fixed
+
+[View our current list of non accessible content](/accessibility/non-accessible-list)
+
+Some documents and content are [exempt from the regulations](https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2018/952/regulation/4/made) (such as live video content and PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing our services), so we do not currently have any plans to make them accessible. But if you need to access information in one of these document types, you can contact us and ask for an alternative format.
+
+## Reporting accessibility issues
+
+If you need information on this website in a different format like accessible PDF, large print, easy read, audio recording or braille or if you find any accessibility issues not listed on this page then please contact Teresa Carbajo Garcia at [t.carbajo-garcia@imperial.ac.uk](mailto:t.carbajo-garcia@imperial.ac.uk) or Petar Maksimovic at [p.maksimovic@imperial.ac.uk](mailto:p.maksimovic@imperial.ac.uk). We’ll consider your request and get back to you within seven days.
+
+
+## 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)](https://www.equalityadvisoryservice.com/).
+
+
+## How we test this website
+
+This website is currently being tested for accessibility compliance, and these tests are being carried out internally through an external software testing.
+
+
+## Last updated
