This Website is run by the Staff at Hafod Y Wern Community Primary School. 

We want everyone who visits our website to have an enjoyable experience and be able to easily navigate and use our site. With this in mind, we are working towards requirements of WCAG2.1 level AA. For example, that means you should be able to:

• change colours, contrast levels and fonts using browser or device settings
• zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
• navigate most of the website using a keyboard or 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.

On this website, the accessibility features in place are –

For a logged-out user, a person who is viewing the website homepage, will be able to see a high visibility button. When clicked and turned on, you will see the contrast colours appear on a darker screen background. To revert you will see there is a Full Media Mode button to click

Homepage Slideshow – The Homepage slideshow (full-width) will now have an option to add a one time 90 character screen reader option, which can be mentioned during the website design process, there is only one caption for the entire slideshow not one per image, also we do not need to detail that there are images as the screen reader will automatically pick this up and will say ‘image of’ before the description.  

For Non-Full Width Homepage Slideshows – the above functionality will be available on this type of design also.

Images Block – you can still choose the layout that you wish to display images in, however there is a description offered for each image rather than one per slideshow. Again, the screen-reader will inform the user that this is an image unless there is an empty ‘ALT TAG’ which will then ignore the image completely.

Non-accessible content

Some images do not have a text alternative, so people using a screen reader cannot access the information. This fails WCAG 2.2 success criterion 1.1.1 (non-text content).

PDFs and other documents

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 [example of non-essential document].

Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.

Live video

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