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

We know some parts of this website aren’t fully accessible:

We’ll consider your request and get back to you in 5 working days.
We’re always looking to improve the accessibility of this website. If you find any problems not listed on this page or think we’re not meeting accessibility requirements, please contact: safercommunities@WLGA.gov.uk
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is responsible for enforcing the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 (the ‘accessibility regulations’).

The Wales Safer Communities Network 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.*
Images, video and audio
Background image on the home page (banner) does not have alternative text.
We plan to add alt text to images on across the remainder of the website. We don’t plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.
Each podcast episode will have an accompanying Podcast Extra PDF document, to ensure that those who are deaf or hard of hearing can access the same information and resources. For this reason, there will be a bilingual Podcast Extra available for every episode, with corresponding Welsh and English language episodes considered as separate episodes – as they might include slightly different information depending on the guest and their role within the organisation.
PDFs and other documents
Many of our older PDFs and Word documents may not meet accessibility standards, these would be historical documents or provided by a third party – for example, they may not be marked up so they’re accessible to a screen reader. We believe that this would be a ‘disproportionate burden’.
Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.
