Technical Information about the Accessibility of this Website's 

Trinbago 2023 is committed to making this website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

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

Non Accessible Content

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

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

Disproportionate Burden

Navigation and accessing information.

It’s not always possible to change the device orientation from horizontal to vertical without making it more difficult to view the content. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.3.4 (orientation).

Interactive tools and transactions

Some of the interactive forms are difficult to navigate using a keyboard. For example, triggering the ‘register your interest’ form could be difficult to open from the homepage.

The cost of fixing the issues with interactive tools and transactions has been assessed and it is believed that doing so now would be a disproportionate burden within the meaning of the accessibility regulations.

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

PDFs and other documents

  • Many of the older PDFs and Word documents do not meet accessibility standards – for example, they may not be structured so they’re accessible to a screen reader. This does not meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.2 (name, role, value).
  • Some PDFs and Word documents are essential to providing  services. For example, there are some PDFs with information on how users can access services, and forms published as Word documents.
  • The accessibility regulations do not require PDFs to be fixed or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing the services of Trinbago 2023.
  • Any new PDFs or Word documents published will meet accessibility standards.
