Accessibility Statement for DataBasic Education

This accessibility statement applies to databasiceducation.cymru.

This website is run by Data Cymru. The DataBasicEducation training programme is based on the ‘Data culture project’ and DataBasic which were developed by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to help organisations build their data culture. 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
  • zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
  • navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver).

We've also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

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