The National Cancer Registry Ireland (NCRI) is committed to making our website accessible in accordance with European Union (Accessibility of Websites and Mobile Applications of Public Sector Bodies) Regulations 2020. [1]
This statement applies to content published via the NCRI Content Management System (CMS) on the www.ncri.ie [2] domain. Digital accessibility is a primary consideration in our web maintenance and development practices as we want as many people as possible to be able to use this website.
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 level AA [3] , due to the non-compliances listed below.
Colour Contrast: not all text elements within the website have sufficient colour contrast between the text in the foreground and background colour behind it. Text that is too close in luminance (brightness) to the background can be hard to read for those with low vision.
ID attribute values: Not all elements within our site with an id attribute has a unique id attribute value. This prevents the second instance from being overlooked by assistive technology.
PDFs: Many documents are published as PDFs – which are less accessible than HTML pages for people using assistive technologies. Some of the issues with Pdfs include:
This content is not an exhaustive list of non-accessible content.
PDF documents that were published before 23 September 2018 are exempt from these guidelines except where it is related to a service that a member of the public has to use.
Videos or audio published before 23 September 2020 are exempt from these guidelines.
This statement was originally prepared on the 12th April 2013. It was last reviewed on the 3rd August 2022.
This website was last tested on 1st August 2022. The test was conducted by the National Disability Authority [4] using automated monitoring and analysing software which currently crawls our website every 7 days, and checks our content against the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 [5].
If you have any complaints about the accessibility of content used on our site please contact our Access Officer at ncr_info [at] ncri.ie
If you are not happy with the NCRI’s response then you can make a complaint to the Ombudsman under the Disability Act [6].
