Accessibility

This accessibility statement applies to https://keepwalestidy.cymru

This website is run by Keep Wales Tidy. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website.

For example, that means you should be able to:

  • zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
  • navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

Where possible use an up-to-date browser

By using an up-to-date browser (the program you use to access the internet) you will have access to a much richer set of options to aid you as you navigate your way around this site.

The standard browsers we would recommend are below with links to install each of them:

Once installed, each will bring its own selection of accessibility options and may allow further options via the use of plug-ins. For more details see the Accessibility page for each one:

Options in your browser

Alternative Style

Most modern browsers all share the most common accessibility tools, here is a list of useful features:

Incremental Search

Incremental search allows you to progressively search a web page for a particular word or phrase on a page.

  • To enable this on your browser, press and hold Ctrl/Command and then tap F.
  • This will open a box to type your search into. As you type, the matches will be highlighted on the page for you.

Spatial navigation

Hitting tab will jump you to each of the items you can interact with on any page. Holding the SHIFT key and then pressing tab will take you to the previous item.

Caret Navigation (Internet Explorer and Firefox only)

Instead of using a mouse to select text and move around within a webpage, you can use standard navigation keys on your keyboard: Home, End, Page Up, Page Down & the arrow keys. This feature is named after the caret, or cursor, that appears when you edit a document.

To turn this feature on, press the F7 key at the top of your keyboard and choose whether to enable the caret on the tab you are viewing or all your tabs.

Space bar

Pressing the space bar on a web page will move the page you are viewing down to the next visible part of the page.

Accessibility support tool

To enhance your experience, this website includes the UserWay accessibility plugin. This tool is designed to improve usability and accessibility for a wide range of users, including those with visual, motor, or cognitive impairments.

The plugin provides features such as adjustable text sizes, contrast and color controls, keyboard navigation enhancements, screen reader support, and other accessibility customisations. These tools can help tailor the browsing experience to better meet individual needs.

You can activate the accessibility menu by selecting the icon located at the bottom-left corner of the screen.

While this tool can enhance accessibility, we are committed to improving the accessibility of the website itself.

For more information about how this tool works and the features it offers, please visit: https://userway.org

How accessible this website is

Parts of this website may not be fully accessible. For example:

  • Some heading elements may be out of sequence
  • Some form fields may not ‘autofill’
  • Some images may be missing recommended attributes
  • Some placeholder attributes have been used as labels
  • Some third-party embedded content may not adhere to WCAG guidelines.

Technical information about this website’s accessibility

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.

Heading elements are not in a sequentially-descending order

WCAG 2.4.6 Headings and Labels: Properly ordered headings that do not skip levels convey the semantic structure of the page, making it easier to navigate and understand when using assistive technologies.

Missing ‘Autocomplete’ attributes on form inputs

WCAG 1.3.5 Identify Input Purpose: There may be instances on third-party embedded forms where fields are missing a valid autocomplete=”…” attribute. These can help auto fill fields, such as search forms with content that the user has previously entered. In some cases autocomplete is not needed, in these cases autocomplete should still be declared, but with an ‘off’ setting.

Some SVG images are missing recommended attributes

WCAG 1.1.1 Non text content: while all decorative images added to the websites theme have roles defined, SVG graphics uploaded to the site post-launch may not include the recommended role and aria-label attributes.

Instances where a placeholder attribute has been used as a label

WCAG 2.5.3 Label in Name: Some third-party embedded forms may not include labels correctly attributed to form fields. While a label may be present, it may lack the for/id attribute pairing required to attribute a form label to a specific form input.

PDFs and non-HTML documents

Some of our PDFs and other non-HTML documents may not be fully accessible. For example, they may not be structured so they are accessible to a screen reader, may be missing text alternatives for images, or may not be fully navigable using a keyboard.

We are working to improve the accessibility of these documents where possible. Where documents are not accessible, we aim to provide accessible alternatives on request.

If you need information in a different format (such as accessible PDF, Word, large print, easy read or audio), please contact us and we will do our best to provide it.
