Our Commitment

Waterford In Your Pocket is committed to website accessibility and to making our online content inclusive for as many people as possible.

We want visitors, regardless of ability or the technology they use, to be able to access information about Waterford’s businesses, events, attractions, activities and community life as easily and independently as possible.

Accessibility is an important part of the ongoing development of Waterford In Your Pocket, and we will continue to review and improve the website as it grows.

Accessibility Standards

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA and continue to identify and address accessibility issues as the website develops.

These internationally recognised guidelines are designed to make websites and digital content more accessible to people with disabilities while improving usability for everyone.

What We Are Doing

As part of our commitment to accessibility, we aim to:

• Use clear and consistent page structures and headings.
• Provide meaningful alternative text for images where appropriate.
• Maintain appropriate colour contrast and readable content.
• Provide a website that works across desktop, tablet and mobile devices.
• Work towards effective keyboard navigation throughout the website.
• Use clear and descriptive links and buttons.
• Improve the accessibility and labelling of website forms and interactive elements.
• Consider accessibility when creating and reviewing new content.
• Review accessibility as new website features and services are introduced.

Ongoing Improvements

Accessibility is an ongoing process rather than a one-time exercise.

Waterford In Your Pocket is continuing to review the website and identify areas where accessibility can be improved. Technical and content improvements will be made as issues are identified and as the website continues to develop.

We also aim to consider accessibility when introducing new content, features and services.

Known Limitations

While we aim to make Waterford In Your Pocket as accessible as possible, some areas may not yet fully meet our accessibility objectives.

Known or potential limitations may include:

• Some navigation, form controls and interactive elements may require further accessibility improvements.
• Embedded third-party maps and other external content.
• External booking, ticketing and reservation services.
• Third-party plugins or services over which Waterford In Your Pocket does not have full technical control.
• User-submitted or externally supplied content.
• Older downloadable documents or files.

Where accessibility issues are identified, we will work to address those within our control wherever reasonably possible.

If you encounter an accessibility barrier, please tell us:
