The World Wide Web Consortium, known as “W3C”, has laid out detailed guidelines for websites to follow as part of their Website Accessibility Initiative.
To achieve this, we have implemented and follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA standards, which should also make this website compliant with the Equality Act 2010. By meeting at least Level AA of these accessibility standards, the pages of this site should meet all Priority 1 and 2 requirements.
This includes, but is not limited to:
- Using relative font sizes, so that viewers can re-size the text in-browser for their convenience.
- Providing alternative text for non-decorative images and visual content to ensure that users who are visually impaired can access the information contained within.
- Ensuring that all text and visual content has sufficient contrast to make it easily readable for users with colour blindness or low vision without the need to change the page.
- Making sure that all forms can be operated using a keyboard to assist users who are unable to use a mouse.
- Providing audio descriptions or transcripts for video content to ensure that users who are deaf or hard of hearing can access the information contained within.
- Using descriptive headings and labels to make it easy for users who rely on screen readers to understand the structure and content of the page.
- Providing as much content as possible in the primary languages of our audiences; English and Welsh.
Changing your settings
The modern browsers we support feature in-built accessibility tools, including zoom and text-resizing, which preclude the need for more controls in the site.
