Technical information about this website’s accessibility
Hinton Blewett Parish Council 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 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.
Issues with Technology
Non accessible content:
- All documents that have to be scanned in such as those contained in the Transparency Statement and Annual Audits
- Documents provided by third parties
- Historical documents
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons:
Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations:
- All documents that have to be scanned in such as those contained in the Transparency Statement and Annual Audits because it is not possible to make these pdfs accessible by a screen reader because they are images, so there is no plan to fix them.
- Documents provided by third-parties because we cannot control the format of these documents as we are not the authors. It is not possible to fix these documents.
Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations:
- Historical documents because it is not possible to make these pdfs accessible by a screen reader because they are images. Also, it is not a requirement to make this type of document accessible.
PDFs and other documents
Many of our older PDFs and Word documents do not meet accessibility standards – for example, they may not be structured so they’re accessible to a screen reader. This does not meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.2
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 Parish Hall Conveyance Deeds.
Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards provided they do not need to be scanned.
What we’re doing to improve accessibility
We feel that by having a new compliant framework website built and making as many pdf documents readable by a screen reader, that we have done all that we possibly can do.
