Recite Me web accessibility and language toolbarmoving image showing how to load recite me toolbar on mobile

Sorin-Marius Predica, your previous Vice President (ARU London) worked closely with the Students' Union team to ensure our website is as accessible as possible.

 

Why?

 

  • We know that the majority of our student body do not have English as their first language.
  • We know that 1 in 5 people in the UK have a disability.
  • We have made a committment to be an inclusive and welcoming Students' Union.

Because of this we have invested in the Recite Me web accessibility and language toolbar to our website to make it accessible and inclusive for as many people as possible.
 

How do I access the Recite Me toolbar?

You can open the Recite Me lanuguage and accessibility toolbar by clicking on the ACCESSIBILITY TOOLS* button at the top of the page (next to the LOG IN button).

After you click on the this button the Recite Me toolbar opens and displays a range of different options for customising how the website looks and how you can access the content.
