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.
