Technical information about this website’s accessibility
Community Alliance Broxbourne and East Herts 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.
Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
i. PDFs and other documents
Some of our PDFs and Word documents are essential to providing our services. We plan to either improve the accessibility of these or replace them with accessible HTML pages.
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 will meet accessibility standards.
ii. Live video
We do not plan to add captions to any live video streams we may share because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.
What we’re doing to improve accessibility
We annually review our website and other forms of communication, including our newsletters, email formats, and design guidelines to meet the WCAG 2.1 guidelines.
