Accessibility Statement for conwy.gov.uk

This website is run by Conwy County Council. This statement applies to content published on www.conwy.gov.uk

The site uses a responsive design, which changes the layout of web pages, so that they work well on desktop PCs, tablets and mobile phones.

How accessible is this website

This website is designed to be used by as many people as possible. The text should be clear and simple to understand. You should be able to:

  • zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
  • navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
  • use most of the website (this excludes pdf and other types of attachments) using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)


AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

The following elements are not accessible. However, we will work to improve these elements in terms of accessibility, where it is within our power to do so, or we will work with our suppliers to do so:

  • some pages include tables which are not readable using screen readers
  • many documents are in PDF format and are not accessible
  • some of our forms are not accessible
  • content and functionality provided by third party suppliers are not fully accessible
  • some images do not have alternative text
  • some heading elements are not consistent
  • you cannot modify the line height or spacing of text
  • some of our online forms are difficult to navigate using just a keyboard
  • interactive maps are difficult to navigate using a keyboard only
