Standards Compliance
We seek to meet the Priority A, AA, and selected AAA guidelines of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. Our website is tested on a regular basis using a combination of automated tools to identify potential problem areas and manual testing to ensure we meet the spirit as well as the letter of the W3C's accessibility guidelines.
Links to other websites
Please note that the King's College website contains links to other internet websites.

The Accessibility Policies of those websites, and not the King's College Accessibility Policy, define their accessibility features, and any questions or concerns should be directed to that website's owner.
Alternative text
Images on our website have alternative text attributes, often known as alt text. This means that when an image is used on a web page to convey information, its content is also described in the alt text. When you use alt text, the image can be understood by text browsers and assistive technologies such as screen readers. If an image is used for simply decorative purposes, the text attribute for the image is left empty in line with accepted best practice.
Readable and resizable fonts and layout
The King's College website uses font sizes that you can control using your web browser.
You can also manually change the text size through your web browser.
To change the text size in Microsoft Internet Explorer, select View > Text size followed by your preferred text size from Smallest to Largest. The default setting is Medium.
You can change the text size in Mozilla Firefox and other Mozilla-based browsers by selecting View > Text size followed by Increase or Decrease. To return the text size to its default setting, select Normal.
The fonts on the King's College website have been chosen for their legibility on computer screens. The layout has been designed to stretch to fill the width of the browser, so that you can resize the browser to suit your own viewing preferences.
Minimising the use of images
Live text is used rather than graphics wherever possible to reduce page download time and to increase your control over text size.
