8.2 Disproportionate burden
We have not been able to provide a fix for all issues identified in our accessibility tool, and include:
Site-wide PDF documents
A number of pdf documents across the website are created and published by a number of different teams, on a separately hosted document management system. To bring all documents in line with web accessibility standards will require all documents to be individually updated by each team/staff member and re-published. This would require significant resource and collaboration to update and is conditional on an individual’s understanding of WCAG standards, and how to implement them to each document.
The university is currently undertaking a review of the document management system and aims to address such issues in pdfs on an ongoing basis, working with staff to understand WCAG standards and update documents when possible.
