Accessibility statement for the UKRI Funding Service

This accessibility statement applies to content published on the Funding Service domain.

This website is run by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). 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 300% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate the service using just a keyboard
  • navigate the service using speech recognition software
  • listen to the service using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

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

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

Compliance status

This service is compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard.

What we’re doing to improve accessibility

We believe that rather than tackling issues individually, a wider review and change to our approach would offer a longer term solution that’s more cost effective to the public.

Preparation of this accessibility statement

This statement was prepared on 30 June 2020. It was last reviewed on 26 March 2025.

This service was last tested on 7 January 2025. The test was carried out by the Digital Accessibility Centre (DAC).

To give a more accurate review of the service, the DAC team used a combination of automated and manual testing. The manual testing was by a team of user testers with differing disabilities using a range of adaptive technologies.

As we continue to develop the service and its content, we will re-audit and test the service for accessibility on a regular basis.
