How accessible this website is

thrivinggreenspaces.scot is fully accessible, however our content includes surveys on the Maptionnaire platform.

For the most part, this content is accessible, however as the design is controlled by a third party we cannot guarantee it is fully accessible.

For example, on Maptionnarie

• some text does not adequately contrast with the background
• some questions rely upon using interactive maps, which may not be accessible to those using screen reader software.
