Accessibility Statement

Abbey Grounds Park is committed to providing an inclusive and accessible experience for everyone, including people with disabilities.

Abbey Grounds Park is owned by Wicklow County Council and operated by Wicklow Social Enterprise.

We are committed to making the Abbey Grounds Park website accessible in accordance with the European Union (Accessibility of Websites and Mobile Applications of Public Sector Bodies) Regulations 2020.

This accessibility statement applies to www.abbeygrounds.ie.

Compliance Status

The Abbey Grounds Park website is newly developed and is undergoing accessibility review and testing.

The website has been designed and developed with accessibility in mind and is being assessed against the applicable accessibility requirements, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.

A final compliance assessment is being completed. Following this assessment, this statement will be updated to confirm whether the website is fully compliant, partially compliant or not compliant with the applicable accessibility requirements and to identify any remaining areas of non-compliance.

In the meantime, if you experience any difficulty accessing content or functionality on this website, please contact us using the details below. We will make reasonable efforts to assist you and, where possible, provide the information in an accessible alternative format.

Accessibility of This Website

Accessibility has been considered throughout the design and development of the Abbey Grounds Park website.

We aim to provide an accessible experience through measures including:

  • clear and consistent navigation;
  • logical page and heading structures;
  • keyboard-accessible navigation and functionality;
  • appropriate colour contrast;
  • alternative text for meaningful images;
  • clearly labelled forms and form controls;
  • descriptive links and buttons;
  • responsive layouts that support different screen sizes and levels of zoom;
  • accessible video content, where applicable; and
  • compatibility with commonly used assistive technologies.

We will continue to review and improve the accessibility of the website as content and functionality are added or updated.

Non-Accessible Content

As this is a newly developed website and its final accessibility assessment is being completed, a definitive list of any remaining non-accessible content has not yet been established.

This does not mean that the website has been confirmed as fully compliant.

If accessibility issues are identified through testing or user feedback, we will work to address them. This statement will be updated to identify any known areas of non-compliance, the reasons for those issues and, where appropriate, any accessible alternatives available.

Third-Party Content and Services

Some content or functionality available through this website may be provided by third-party services or may link to external websites that are outside the direct control of Abbey Grounds Park, Wicklow Social Enterprise or Wicklow County Council.

Where possible, we aim to use third-party services and content that support accessibility.

If you experience difficulty accessing third-party content or functionality through the Abbey Grounds Park website, please contact us. We will make reasonable efforts to assist you or provide the relevant information in an alternative accessible format where possible.
