This website is run by Social Care Wales. This accessibility statement applies to wecare.wales. We are committed to making our website and mobile applications 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 2.2AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.

Visual-only structure

Content in the job descriptions aren't always fully accessible. As this is user generated content or scraped from other local authority websites, we are unable to resolve this issue.

We'll be looking at ways to improve user generated content by adding toolbars. This will not include vacancies that have been scrapped from our local authority websites.

We're regularly using tools such as SiteImprove and axe DevTools to review and fix any accessibility issues.

This statement was first prepared on 15 May 2023 following a full accessibility audit of the website by the Digital Accessibility Centre and was presented to WeCare Wales.

The report outlined accessibility issues with the website, which were resolved in January 2024 by an independent organisation.

The statement was prepared using the accessibility tools in SiteImprove and the Government Digital Service report. SiteImprove is regularly used to monitor the site’s accessibility and to identify issues.

The statement will be updated annually and updated accordingly.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is responsible for enforcing the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 (the ‘accessibility regulations’).
