Compliance status

• Videos: may not contain captions/transcripts or other accessibility features.

How we test the dublinwinterlights.ie site

We use the WCAG level AA guidelines to test how accessible https://dublinwinterlights.ie/ is. We used the Website Accessibility Conformance Evaluation Methodology (WCAG-EM) approach to assess the site. We have completed accessibility audits on every page of https://dublinwinterlights.ie. Some of the tools used for the audit process are:

• Chrome browser
• NVDA screen reader
• Axe DevTools
• Lighthouse
• https://www.webaccessibility.com/

What we’re doing to improve accessibility

We will work with partners to assist in publishing HTML pages instead of less accessible formats like PDF, when it is possible. When possible, we will add captions/transcripts to the videos.
