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-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
Link text
Some of the links used on the site don’t make sense when read alone. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion Link Purpose (in context).
Video titles
Our embedded videos don’t have descriptive title attributes so assistive technology users will not be aware of their contents. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value.
Error identification
Errors identification is not prominent enough for sighted users. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 3.3.1 Error Identification.
Disproportionate burden
Wakefield Safeguarding Children Partnership believes all content should be accessible for everyone. We do not currently intend to claim disproportionate burden for any website content.
Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
Wakefield Safeguarding Children Partnership believes all content should be accessible for everyone. Documents published before September 2018 unless they are crucial to delivering a service, are not in scope of the accessibility regulations, but we intend to make all our content accessible.
What we’re doing to improve accessibility
We are actively developing this site and aim to have full compliance by the end of April 2022 and will update this statement when non-compliances are resolved.
