Exceptions

Whilst we strive to adhere to the accepted guidelines and standards for accessibility and usability, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the website. The following areas are known to us as falling outside of our intended web accessibility targets:

  • Geographic Information Systems (GIS) maps data
  • YouTube embedded video player is not fully accessible for screen reader users
  • Social media sites: Facebook, Flickr and Twitter

We will continue to investigate ways of improving the accessibility of these areas.
