Accessibility

  • This accessibility statement applies to the South West Wales CJC website: southwestcjc.gov.wales

    This website has been developed by Tinint and is managed by the South West Wales CJC team. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

    • change colours, contrast levels and fonts
    • zoom in up to 300% 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)

    We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand. AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

  • We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible:

    • most older PDF documents are not fully accessible to screen reader software

    The site uses a Google Map, visit their help centre for more information on the accessibility of Google Maps.

  • The South West Wales CJC 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 has been developed by Tinint using Umbraco Version 13.5.1. The content is managed by the South West Wales CJC team.

  • This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard (Opens in a new tab), due to the non-compliances listed below.

    Non-accessible content

    The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.

    Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

    Many of the older PDFs on our website do not 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 unless we determine that they represent a disproportionate burden within the meaning of the accessibility regulations. Our long-term aim is to provide an accessible HTML version of the information as the primary source.

    Disproportionate burden

    Due to the nature and format of the tables included in the CIPFA Code, further consideration is needed to help ensure that the Statement of Accounts are presented in a way that is fully accessible.

    We will work towards achieving compliance, whilst adhering to the complexities of the prescribed presentation reporting requirements of CIPFA’s Code of Practice On Local Authority Accounting.

  • We do not plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.

  • We monitor our website using Silktide and use this to identify and fix any accessibility issues. We respond to all feedback and will address any accessibility issues that are raised.

  • This website is tested weekly by Silktide. All pages of the website are tested and we use this information to make continuous improvements.
