Are there any basic hints and tips for using HTML code to correct page errors?

Answer:

We recommend that unless you are familiar with the source code, you should not attempt to use it to edit pages because of the difficulties an accidental deletion could present.

The easiest way around this is to take steps to avoid complicating the code. For instance, do not click and drag text or images around your page and always paste imported content as plain text.

Are we only allowed to use images from the Image Bank?

Answer:

When building a web page, we strongly recommend using images from the University of Nottingham image bank. These images have either been commissioned by the university or else purchased with unrestricted copyright, so their use is completely authorised.

If you use images from elsewhere, you must ensure that their copyright license allows you to use them and you follow any restrictions on use, for example, giving credit. They should also follow our brand style, please read our photography pages for more information.

Are there standard layouts for web pages to be used by departments?

Answer:

When a page is created as a part of a school website, the correct colour and navigation bar are automatically applied.

New content is expected to meet the university brand guidelines. In order to maintain a uniform layout, we recommend using appropriate heading sizes (keeping Heading 2 styles beneath a Heading 1, etc), focusing important information on the top left of the page, with any images on the right, and formatting text to clearly present information.

Are there any provisions for colour vision deficient staff and students?

Answer:

The university brand has been developed with colour deficiency and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines in mind. Our brand guidelines give details of all university colours and how they work in terms of contrast, font size and accessibility on the university website and in print.

General guidance on colour vision deficiency can be found on the NHS website

As a registered volunteer at the University, will I be covered by any insurance?

Answer:: The University has Public Liability insurance in place that will respond should it be proved that the University to be negligent in its actions towards a member of the public. This policy will respond to volunteers working under the instruction of the University. This covers our legal liability to pay compensation for injuries or illness to a third party or damage to the property of third parties, which are due to The University of Nottingham’s negligence. It does not cover pure accidents (e.g. if a spectator at an event trips over their own feet) or malicious damage (e.g. deliberate damage to equipment).

A friend/someone in my child's school year/member of my partner's household is isolating with symptoms/a positive test result. Should I isolate?

Answer:

You must isolate if someone in your household has had a positive test or is symptomatic.

If you are a close contact of the symptomatic/infected person, or have been contacted by the NHS Track and Trace service, you should isolate.

However, if you are not a close contact, are not symptomatic, haven't have a positive test, and haven't been contacted by NHS Track and Trace, you do not need to isolate.
