Technical information about this website’s accessibility

Sport Northern Ireland is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.

Non-accessible content

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

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

Video. Some videos embedded from YouTube may only have automatic captions, which may not be accurate, and do not have an audio description or transcript. This fails WCAG 2.2 success criteria 1.2.2 (Captions (Prerecorded)) and 1.2.5 (Audio Description (Prerecorded)). We plan to add accurate captions to videos published from 23 September 2020.

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

Pre-recorded video. We do not plan to add captions or audio description to pre-recorded video published before 23 September 2020, because live and pre-recorded video before that date is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.

Third-party content. Some content on this website, such as embedded YouTube video players, is provided by third parties and is not funded, developed or under the control of Sport Northern Ireland.

What we’re doing to improve accessibility

We test new pages and features for accessibility before we publish them, and we are working through the issues listed above. We will update this statement as issues are fixed.
