Technical information about this website’s accessibility

Tec Cymru is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

This website is fully compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard.

 

Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations

 

Issues with PDFs and other documents

Some of our older PDFs and Word documents don’t meet accessibility standards - for example, they may not be marked up so they’re accessible to a screen reader.

The accessibility regulations don’t require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing our services.

Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.

 

Issues with images, video and audio

Our live video streams do not have captions incorporated as part of the normal standard of production

We don't plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.

 

What we are doing to improve accessibility

We work with our supplier to continuously monitor and address any accessibility issues introduced during the ongoing development and updating of the website.
