Compliance Status

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the following issues:

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

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

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations 

  • The static elements of the web application are accessible with the exception of the map-based components that fall under the accessibility mapping exemption. 
  • The web application presents data submitted by the public in the form of text, images and pdfs. There may be accessibility issues associated with this data: 
  • Photography relating to the public rights of way network and reported issues may not have appropriate alt tags. 
  • There may be hyperlinks in public submitted text data that do not follow best practice (e.g., do not include text that clearly describes their destination) 
  • Where legal order or landowner deposits modules are installed, there may be pdf documents submitted by the public that are not fully accessible to screen reader software. 
  • The web application may present data that has been submitted by members of the public over many years, as a result this data may not be fully accessible. 
  • The web application is map centric, so functionality that requires map interaction falls under the mapping exception. An alternative method for reporting issues is provided. 

Disproportionate burden

Not applicable.
