Doncaster 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.
Many of our older PDFs and Word documents don’t meet accessibility standards - for example, they may not be marked up so they’re accessible to a screen reader.
Some of our PDFs and Word documents are essential to providing our services. For example, we have PDFs with information on how users can access our services, and forms published as Word documents. We plan to either fix these or replace them with accessible HTML pages in line with our website improvement project due for completion September 2021.
Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards unless we determine that they represent a disproportionate burden within the meaning of the accessibility regulations. Ultimately we plan to provide an accessible HTML version of the information as the primary source.
Live video streams don’t have captions.
We don’t plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations .
We cannot guarantee accessibility standards with third party applications. Accessibility regulations will form part of future procurement requirements.
This website is tested on the 20th of each month by WAVE Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool. The test was carried out using automated software.
We have monitoring in place to review the accessibility of the site on an ongoing basis. We use this monitoring to identify and fix any new issues that arise.
The accessibility of the website is reviewed every month and we fix any issues arising based on the monthly report.
