How accessible the website is
Some parts of the website are not accessible for the following reasons.
- Some videos may not have captions.
- An image provided within the maps feature, supplied by a third party, is missing an alt tag. (The image is not needed to use and understand the map, and all the location information is supplied separate from the map via text.)
- Our website currently has content in Welsh, but the language is identified in English in each of those cases. We have conducted a disproportionate burden assessment on our Welsh language content.
