This accessibility statement applies to OpenDataWales.

This website is hosted by Data Cymru. 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 300% without the text spilling off the screen;
  • navigate most of the website using just a keyboard;

  • 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.

Non-accessible content

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

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

The website contains some redundant WAI-ARIA attributes which fail to provide the user with any additional information. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.2 (Name, Role, Value).

Some headings are missing text making it difficult for users to understand the structure and flow of page content. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.4.6 (Headings and Labels).

Navigation elements with an ARIA [role] that require children to contain a specific [role] are missing some or all of those required children. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.2 (Name, Role, Value).

Navigation elements that require associated parent ARIA elements are missing some or all of those required elements. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.2 (Name, Role, Value).

We plan to address these issues by the end of June 2021.

Disproportionate burden
