Accessibility Statement
This website is run by the Oxford Poverty & Human Development Initiative (OPHI). We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:
- Zoom in
- Flip the content horizontally or vertically
- Access the content using a keyboard
- Understand the order of the page when using a keyboard
- View headings that are descriptive
- View pages where the contrast is clear
- Access pages with consistent navigation
We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible:
- Not all of our images have alternative text
- Audio files do not have transcripts
- Videos do not have captions synchronised with the audio
- Important visual information in videos does not have an audio description.
- Blocks of information cannot be bypassed easily
- The purpose of every link is not clear from its text in older pages
- There are some badly nested html tags, and so the HTML is not valid
We are working to address areas where our accessibility needs improvement.
