Access to buildings and facilities
The University of Cambridge has an extensive building access guide covering most of the University’s sites to help our staff, students and visitors, which is available from our Disability Resource Centre: See the building access guide.
We would typically be able to waive registration fees for personal assistants to disabled people, and service animals are welcome.
Access to in-person or online events
At CRASSH we endeavour to make our activities as accessible as possible, in line with the BPA/SWIP guidelines on accessible conferences and events.
If you have any specific accessibility needs for a CVC event, please get in touch. We will do our best to accommodate any requests. Please contact us at cvc@aha.cam.ac.uk.
Website accessibility
CVC is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability.

This website strives to achieve accessibility standards set out by the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (WCAG 1.0).
The guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines will help make the web become more usable for all people.
The CVC website is designed to display correctly using current (and future) browsers being created using standards compliant HTML mark-up and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets).
Exceptions:
Whilst CVC complies with known accessibility and usability guidelines it is not always possible to do so to the letter of each checkpoint. In light of this, we are continually developing solutions that conform to the spirit of each checkpoint, bringing together a high standard of practicality throughout the website.
