Technical information about this website’s accessibility
Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
Compliance status
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.
Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations
Issues with PDFs and other documents
Many of our older PDFs and other 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. For example, we don’t plan to fix PDFs associated with historic planning applications.
We aim to ensure that any new documents we publish meet accessibility standards.
Information displayed on maps
Some information is provided as content within a map. This doesn’t meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1 Non-text Content. We aim to publish all content that is only available in a map as HTML or if this is not possible to tell you how you can access the information by other means.
Accessibility of our other websites and online services
We use some third party online services and websites to allow customers to interact and transact with us. These include (but are not limited to) online surveys; the online version of our Coast to Coast magazine; and finding information using online maps.
Not all these sites and online services meet the necessary standards for accessibility, and where they do not we are engaging with our suppliers to rectify this. We aim to rectify as much as possible by September 2020, but some work may be ongoing past this date.
When procuring new online systems and website designs, meeting accessibility standards is included in the specification, and we continue to work with suppliers to ensure sites continue to meet these standards.
Disproportionate burden
We have not identified anything that qualifies as disproportionate burden as of yet, but we are still evaluating our sites and may update this when we identify issues.
Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
PDFs and other documents
Some of our PDFs and Word documents are essential to providing our services. For example, we have PDFs with information on how users can access our services, and forms published as Word documents. By September 2020, we plan to either fix these or replace them with accessible HTML pages.
The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing our services. For example, we do not plan to fix documents relevant to Local Development Plan 1 as this plan is due to be replaced in 2020.
Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.
