The website has been tested against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA standard.
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
Comhairle integrates a number of third-party open source tools as part of its participation platform. The accessibility of interfaces provided directly by those tools is outside our direct control. We aim to ensure that all surfaces directly owned and maintained by CrownShy meet the required standard.
We are actively developing Comhairle and accessibility improvements are part of our regular development cycle. Our frontend is built using Svelte and Shadcn, a component library that provides accessible defaults, and Tailwind CSS for styling. We intend to carry out a more comprehensive accessibility audit as the platform matures.
