Our Commitment

People of Cornwall is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people of all abilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards.

Accessibility Features

We have implemented the following features to improve accessibility:

Keyboard navigation: All interactive elements can be accessed using a keyboard
Screen reader support: Pages are structured with semantic HTML for screen reader compatibility
Text alternatives: Images include descriptive alt text where appropriate
Colour contrast: We use high-contrast colour combinations for readability
Resizable text: Text can be resized without loss of functionality
Focus indicators: Visible focus states for keyboard users

Standards

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities.

Known Limitations

While we strive for full accessibility, some areas may have limitations:

User-uploaded images may not always have descriptive alt text
Some third-party content (like embedded maps) may have accessibility limitations
Older user-generated content may not meet all current accessibility standards
