Other apps, websites and browser based systems on the arts.ac.uk domain have their own accessibility statements.
This app React and some of their proprietary libraries to render the content on the front end. React is a JavaScript framework that was created by Facebook and is widely used across the web and mobile apps. CSS and HTML 5 are also but they are not the core to rendering content.
