Accessibility

This page states CEDA's intention to provide websites that are usable and accessible to all and details some of the measures taken. CEDA's objective on accessibility is to conform to the guidelines for UK Government Websites, which support the W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines at Level AA. These are to ensure that we achieve and maintain an appropriate Web accessibility standard and that our web sites are inclusive.

This accessibility statement applies only to the Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA) websites and relates to all new and reviewed public facing websites, but does not apply to any other site, including:

• Legacy websites operated by or for CEDA
• Other websites operated by partner organisations
• Any site that is linked from one of our pages

Please note, some sections of this web site are controlled by third parties and so it has not been possible for the same standards of accessibility to be applied to them.

We are making every effort to make CEDA's websites accessible, including layout, and easy to use for everyone, no matter what browser you choose to use, and whether or not you have any disabilities.

Recruitment

CEDA recruitment is handled by our parent organisation the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) which currently recruits through the i-recruitment Portal. Please refer to the STFC Accessibility Statement regarding that recruitment site.

CEDA videos are hosted on YouTube and presented with captions. To play a video, users can click the triangle button on the player or the image. Alternatively, keyboard-only and assistive software users can use the “[Video Autoplay]” link for this purpose.

When a video is playing, the users can use the following keys on the keyboard to control the video player:

• Spacebar: Play / Pause;
• Right Arrow / Left Arrow: go forward / go backward;
• Up Arrow / Down Arrow: Louder / Softer.

Mac users browsing with Safari can use CTRL with the above keys to fulfil the same operations.

Maintaining an accessible site is an ongoing process and we are continually working to offer a user friendly experience. However, if you have any problems using this web site please contact us.
