Website Accessibility Statement

The Rudby Parish Council website and the associated Neighbourhood Plan website are run by Rudby Parish Council.

We want as many people as possible to be able to use these websites. For example, that means you should be able to:

Zoom in up to 300% without text spilling off the screen
Navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
Navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
Listen to most of the website using a screen reader (using the most recent version of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

We have also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

Technical information about this website’s accessibility

Rudby 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 2.1. AA standard.

The content listed below is non accessible for the following reasons.

Some older PDF documents were not created in an accessible format.
There is one piece of uncaptioned video content on the Neighbourhood Plan website.

To fix these:

Non-accessible PDF content will be phased out during routine site maintenance by either replacing the non accessible PDF with accessible versions of the content or by retirement.
The video content will be retired when the Neighbourhood Plan project is completed. It will not be included with the archived documents.

If we create any other video content, we will add captions to comply with WCAG 2.1 criterion 1.2.4 captions – live.

Disproportionate Burden

Nothing to report.
