Accessibility statement for the Environment & Rural Affairs Monitoring and Modelling Programme (ERAMMP) websites
This accessibility statement applies to https://erammp.wales and https://erammp.cymru. Both URLs are the same website – they start on different pages within the overall sitemap.
These websites are hosted and maintained by UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) on behalf of the Environment & Rural Affairs Monitoring and Modelling Programme (ERAMMP). We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:
- You can use your browser zoom to magnify your view up to 200% without the text spilling off the screen
- You can navigate most of the site in a logical order using just a keyboard
- You can skip to the main content when using just a keyboard
- You can listen to most of the website using a screen reader.
We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.
AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
