Accessibility Statement

This accessibility statement applies to the website www.visitlincolnshire.com, which is managed by Lincolnshire County Council.

Visit Lincolnshire is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including people with disabilities. We strive to continuously improve the user experience for everyone and adhere to the relevant accessibility standards.

Measures to improve accessibility

We are committed to making our website as accessible and inclusive as possible for all users, including those with visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor impairments.

Our aim is to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA standard.

As part of this ongoing effort, we have implemented a range of measures, including but not limited to:

  • Designing the website with a clear structure and semantic HTML5
  • Using strong colour contrast and scalable text for readability
  • Ensuring full keyboard navigation across all interactive elements
  • Allowing zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
  • Providing alternative text for images and graphics
  • Including descriptive link text and accessible form labels
  • Testing key pages using screen readers and accessibility tools (including NVDA and VoiceOver)
  • Using ARIA labels where appropriate to support screen reader users

We continue to review and enhance accessibility across the site and welcome feedback from users to help us improve.

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

Ongoing efforts

We believe the majority of the website is accessible. However, we know some parts of the site may not be fully accessible yet:

  • Some third-party embedded content (e.g. maps or videos) may not fully meet accessibility standards.
  • Some older images may lack appropriate alternative text.

We are actively working to address these issues and improve accessibility across the site.
