The internet can be a great enabler and source of freedom for disabled users. As such, the value of Cyber Scotland Connect (and the wider web) to our disabled and aging audiences depends on its accessibility. This is an area of importance for Cyber Scotland Connect. We want everyone who visits the Cyber Scotland Connect site to feel welcome and find the experience enjoyable.

To help us make the Cyber Scotland Connect website a positive place for everyone, we’ve used the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, and user friendly for everyone. The guidelines have three levels of accessibility (A, AA and AAA). We’ve chosen Level AA as the target for the Cyber Scotland Connect website.

We’ve worked hard on the Cyber Scotland Connect website and believe we’ve achieved our goal of Level AA accessibility. We monitor the website regularly to maintain this, but if you do find any problems, please get in touch.
