Technical information about this website's accessibility
Participatr Limited is committed to making this engagement platform 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 listed below.
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
Non-compliances
The interactive map page on this website does not include a level-one heading. This is because the map needs to take up the full width and height of the screen in order to function properly.
Disproportionate burden
Certain user controls on the interactive maps plugin integrated into this website do not include text descriptions. We have assessed the potential to rectify this issue but the maps engine is provided by a third-party, and functionality is not available to us to include text descriptions. No other provider is able to provide a similar or equivalent service with this functionality available.
Content that's not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
Live video streams do not have captions. We do not plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.
