Technical information about this website’s accessibility

We are committed to making this 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 AA standard, due to non-accessible content listed below.

Non-accessible content

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

  • Some PDFs and downloadable documents are not fully accessible. 
  • There are some links to third party websites which may not be compliant.

Disproportionate burden

  • The documents are largely accessible and the time required to fix all issues would be disproportionate.

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

  • 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.  For example, we do not plan to fix historical meeting minutes.
  • Online maps are exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.
