Technical information about this website's accessibility
Tetsworth 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.
Compliance status
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1
(https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/) AA standard, due to 'the non-compliances and exemptions'] listed below.
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations
1. 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).
1. We are in the process of correcting. An update on progress will be posted by end September 2021.
2. When we publish new content, we’ll make sure our use of images meets accessibility standards.
Disproportionate Burden:
Navigation and accessing information
1. It’s not always possible to change the device orientation from horizontal to vertical without making it more difficult to view the content.
Info and Relationships
2. Some Elements do not have Unique Element IDs across the website. We have looked into fixing these but at present it is of a disproportionate burden.
1. This fails Criterion 4.1.1 1 (due to duplicate values of type ID)
PDFs and other documents
1. Many PDFs and Word and Excel Files don’t meet accessibility standards - for example, they may not be marked up so they’re accessible to a screen reader or of a version that does not interface with a screenreader
2. We’ve assessed the cost of fixing these issues We believe that doing so now would be a disproportionate burden within the meaning of the accessibility regulations
Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
PDFs and other documents
1. Many of our older (Documents published after 23 September 2018) PDFs and Word documents don’t meet accessibility standards
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 entries prior to the aforementioned date made on the -Archive Minutes Page (http://www.tetsworthparishcouncil.co.uk/archive-minutes1.html) ,
- or the, Finance Page (http://www.tetsworthparishcouncil.co.uk/finance.html)
- Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.
We’ve assessed the cost of fixing these issues We believe that doing so now would be a disproportionate burden within the meaning of the accessibility regulations.
We will make another assessment when the supplier contract is up for renewal and future budget availability is known, likely to be in April 2022
