Accessibility statement
Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
This accessibility statement applies to the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park website.
Compliance Status
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to factors listed below.
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons:
Disproportionate Burden
– Dropdown menus beneath the links in the main menus and header navigation bars, cannot be accessed using the keyboard. (WCAG 2.1.1 Keyboard)
– When hovering the dropdown menus within the navigation bar and the main menu bar with the pointer, there is no mechanism to dismiss the additional content without moving the pointer. (WCAG 1.4.13 Content on Hover or Focus)
– The order in which the focus moves through links on the site is not logical. (WCAG 2.4.3 Focus Order)
– WCAG 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value
– WCAG 1.3.1 Info and Relationships
– WCAG 1.4.10 Reflow (at 400% zoom and in mobile view some headings are no longer visible)
– WCAG 1.1.1 Non-text content
We’ve assessed the cost of fixing the issues listed above. We believe that doing so now would be a disproportionate burden within the meaning of the accessibility regulations.
We are in the process of developing a new website for Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, with a focus on accessibility from the ground up, to achieve at least Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA standard. This new website will be live by the end of 2025.
Content which is not within the scope of accessibility regulations
Some of our historical documents were published before 23 September 2018, and as such are exempt from the regulations, so we do not currently have any plans to make them accessible.
