Taith is a Welsh Government funded programme which is led by International Learning Exchange Programme (ILEP) Ltd, a subsidiary of Cardiff University as Programme Executive.
This website is run by Blue Stag on behalf of Taith. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

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’). If you’re not happy with how we respond to your complaint, contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS).
Blue Stag, on behalf of Taith, is committed to making its website 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 2.1 – Level AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.
Some images do not have a text alternative, so people using a screen reader cannot access the information. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1 (non-text content).
We plan to add text alternatives for all images by September 2022. When we publish new content we’ll make sure our use of images meets accessibility standards.
Links within a specific block of content, whilst clickable, include a link element without a href attribute. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.4.4 (link purpose (in context)).
One web form contains an input that does not include a visible form label. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.4.6 (headings & labels).
There’s no way to skip the repeated content in the page header (for example, a ‘skip to main content’ option).
It’s not always possible to change the device orientation from horizontal to vertical without making it more difficult to view the content.
Some of our interactive forms are difficult to navigate using a keyboard. For example, because some form controls are missing a ‘label’ tag.
We will make another assessment when the supplier contract is up for renewal, likely to be in January 2023.
Some of our PDFs and Word documents are essential to providing our services. For example, we have PDFs with information on how users can access our services, and forms published as Word documents. By September 2022, we plan to either fix these or replace them with accessible HTML pages.
The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing our services. There are no such documents on this website.
Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.
We do not plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.
Following this website’s launch on 2 February 2022, we will carry out further accessibility testing and update this statement.
