Technical information about this website’s accessibility

North Somerset 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 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:

Disproportionate burden

Some of our forms are built and hosted through third party software and ‘skinned’ to look like our website.

We’ve assessed the cost of fixing the issues with navigation and accessing information, and with interactive tools and transactions. 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

Maps

Some of our maps are not accessible. We don’t currently have a plan in place to change our maps as mapping is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.

What we’re doing to improve accessibility

Our content is continually reviewed and written to a set of standards that promote the use of plain English.

We are assessing our current microsites for accessibility and will set up a programme to bring them into the main content management system.

Preparation of this accessibility statement

This statement was prepared on Tuesday 22 September 2020.
