Accessibility Statement for FleetCheck (Website)

Website accessibility statement inline with Public Sector Body (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018

This accessibility statement applies to: https://newgen.FleetCheck.co.uk/Vehicles/Overview

This website is a product of Supplier FleetCheck which will be controlled by Estates and used across the University of Edinburgh. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this application. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • Customise most of the website using browser settings
  • Use the website without the need to drag content with a mouse, without a keyboard alternative
  • Access the website on a mobile device
  • Use assistive technologies, such as ZoomText and TextHelp, with the website

We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand. However, some of our content is technical, and we use technical terms where there is no easier wording, we could use without changing what the text means.

Customising the website

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability. This is an external site with suggestions to make your computer more accessible:
