Each website has its own accessibility statement, to ensure we can properly describe the accessibility for each site or service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This accessibility statement covers the Stover Country Park website at devon.gov.uk\/stover-country-park and does not cover the wider family of Devon County Council websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This website is run by Devon County Council. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website.

If you\u2019re not happy with how we respond to your complaint, contact the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.equalityadvisoryservice.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Technical information about this website\u2019s accessibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Devon County Council is committed to making its website accessible, under the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Compliance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Non-accessible content<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some pages scroll in two dimensions when viewed on a small screen. This fails WCAG 2.2 success criterion 1.4.10 Reflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Images in the photo galleries display text (photo title and photographer details) when hovered over with a mouse, however this functionality is not available to mobile users, so they don&#8217;t see the text. The photos are being pulled in from Flickr, using a third party software plug-in. Although this information does not contain essential information the issue does affect the site fully meeting WCAG 2.2 success criterion 1.4.13 Content on Hover or Focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few PDF documents published since September 2018 aren\u2019t fully accessible to screen reader software. These have been designed as an offline resource to be downloaded and printed. We\u2019ve assessed them and believe that they do not provide essential information about the service<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Content that\u2019s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leaflets<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The site contains links to a number of leaflets and maps in PDF format. These have been designed as an offline resource to be downloaded and printed and as a result may not be fully accessible for users of assistive technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they\u2019re not essential to providing our services. These PDFs on this website were designed as print-ready leaflets\/brochures, which have been added to the website to supplement online content. We\u2019ve assessed them and believe that they do not provide essential information about the service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maps<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We publish some maps that are not fully accessible. The accessibility regulations do not require us to make maps accessible, although we take steps to make them and the information they contain as accessible as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">External links and content<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This website may link or embed content from third-party, external websites or services that are not fully accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What we\u2019re doing to improve accessibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We provide training to all content authors to ensure new content is accessible. We monitor this website weekly and we aim to address any issues promptly. We will be reviewing this site regularly and updating this statement accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preparation of this accessibility statement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This statement was prepared on 13 October 2021.
