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

Enforcement procedure 

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’). If you’re not happy with how we respond to your complaint, contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS). 

Technical information about this website’s accessibility 

Paisley Museum Reimagined is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018. 

Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below.  

Non-accessible content 

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons. 

Empty links

Some aspects of our theme contain design elements that contain empty links. This can be confusing for keyboard and screen reader users. This fails 2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context) (Level A). 

Redundant alternative text

There are instances of alternative text that is the same as nearby or adjacent text which is presented multiple times to screen readers or when images are unavailable. This fails 1.1.1 Non-text Content (Level A). 

Redundant links

Adjacent links sometimes go to the same URL. When adjacent links go to the same location, this is repetitive for keyboard and screen reader users. This fails 2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context) (Level A). 

Suspicious link text

Some elements of our theme are fixed and we are unable to change the text within them. This means that link text may not be unique and so may not make sense out of context. This can be confusing for screen reader users. This fails 2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context) (Level A). 

Skipped heading level

On rare occasions, heading elements are fixed by the theme that we have used and cannot be changed. Headings provide document structure and help with keyboard navigation for users of assistive technology. These users may be confused or have problems navigating when heading levels are skipped. This fails 1.3.1 Info and Relationships (Level A). 

PDF 

This site offers a Gift Aid Declaration Form in PDF format. This form is not an accessible PDF but you can Gift Aid your contribution online at Donate now. If you have any concerns about this, please contact us.

Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations 

We provide a map of the museum and Paisley’s other heritage sites. This is not fully accessible to all assistive technology. Maps are currently not within the scope of the accessibility regulations.
