This is an accessibility statement from Gwynedd Council. This accessibility statement applies to https://parcglynllifon.cymru/.

How accessible this website is

We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible:

1. Navigation menu: Aria role attributes on menus are not implemented, this is due to the site builder used to build the navigation incorrectly assigning role attributions. As a temporary fix the role attributions have been removed to avoid confusion for screen readers and keyboard navigation. We are actively looking in to permenant solutions to this and plan make these improvements by Dec 2024.
