Scope

Cropwell Bishop Parish Council is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

This accessibility statement applies to: https://cropwellbishop-pc.gov.uk/

How accessible this website is

We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible:
• Some older PDF documents may not be fully accessible
• Some documents may not be structured correctly for screen readers
• Some content may not meet the required colour contrast or heading structure standards

Compliance status

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

Non-accessible content

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

PDF documents

Some documents on this website are published as PDF files and may not be fully accessible to screen reader software. In particular:
• Older PDF documents may not be fully tagged
• Some PDFs may not have a logical reading order
• Some PDFs may not be fully compatible with assistive technologies
Many of these documents are historic and were published before September 2018.

Disproportionate burden

Cropwell Bishop Parish Council has assessed the cost and resource required to make all historic PDF documents fully accessible and has determined that doing so would represent a disproportionate burden, due to:
• The volume of historic documents
• Their low ongoing usage
• Limited staffing and technical resources typical of a Parish Council
However, the Council is committed to improving accessibility and is taking steps to ensure that new content is published in a more accessible way.

This assessment will be reviewed periodically to ensure it remains valid.

What we are doing to improve accessibility

• New documents are created using accessible formats wherever possible
• Documents are structured clearly when created in Microsoft Word before being converted to PDF
• Where appropriate, key information is also provided directly on web pages
• Accessibility is considered when publishing new content
• This accessibility statement will be reviewed regularly
