Technical information about this website’s accessibility

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.

Non compliance with the accessibility regulations

Images supplied by outside parties that do not have a text alternative, so people using a screen reader cannot access the information. This does not compromise the WCAG 2.2 success criterion 1.1.1 (non-text content).

When we publish new content we’ll make sure our use of images meets accessibility standards.

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

PDFs, images and other documents. Many of older PDFs, Word documents or images may not meet accessibility standards – for example, they may not be structured so they’re accessible to a screen reader. This does not meet WCAG 2.2 success criterion 4.1.2 (name, role value).

Some of our PDFs, Word documents and images are essential to providing our services. For example, we have images supplied by outside parties promoting their events.

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.

Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish may be supplied by third parties and may not meet accessibility standards.
