We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

Technical information about this website’s accessibility

Aerospace Wales is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the
Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations
2018.
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version
2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.

Issues with technology

No ‘skip to main content’ option on any pages.
It’s not possible for users to modify text spacing or line height.
We’ve assessed the cost of fixing these issues and believe that doing so now would be a disproportionate burden within the meaning of the accessibility regulations. We will make another assessment when we next do a major redevelopment of the website, likely to be in
2025.

Issues with images, video and audio

Images on the home page don’t have alternative text.
Live video streams don’t have captions.
We plan to add alt text to images on the home page by September 2020. We don’t plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.
