This website is run by Leyburn Town Council. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve made the website text as simple as possible to understand.<\/p>\n
AbilityNet<\/a>\u00a0has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.<\/p>\n We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible: –<\/p>\n – you cannot modify the line height or spacing of text<\/p>\n – most older PDF documents are not fully accessible to screen reader software<\/p>\n – some forms are difficult to navigate using just a keyboard<\/p>\n – there\u2019s a limit to how far you can magnify the map on our \u2018contact us\u2019 page<\/p>\n If you need information on this website in a different format like accessible PDF, large print, easy read, audio recording or braille please email Clerk@leyburntowncouncil.gov.uk<\/a> or call 01969 62256<\/a>.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll consider your request and get back to you promptly.<\/p>\n If you cannot view the map on our \u2018contact us\u2019 page, call or email us<\/a> for directions.<\/p>\n We\u2019re always looking to improve the accessibility of this website. If you find any problems not listed on this page or think we\u2019re not meeting accessibility requirements, contact the Town Council Clerk<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is responsible for enforcing the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 (the \u2018accessibility regulations\u2019). If you\u2019re not happy with how we respond to your complaint,\u00a0contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS)<\/a>.<\/p>\n Leyburn Town Council is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.<\/p>\n This website is partially compliant with the\u00a0Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1<\/a> AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.<\/p>\n The website is developed using the WordPress Content Management System (CMS). As such, software components from a number of different developers are used to provide the design and functionality of the site. Whilst every effort has been taken to utilise premium components, it is possible that some code may not be fully compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1<\/a> AA standard. Making corrections to any such code would not be viable as they would be overwritten when new versions of the software were released.<\/p>\n Some accessibility issues would be a disproportionate burden to fix. This is because the Town Council is a small public sector organisation, with a limited budget.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n It\u2019s not always possible for users to change text size without some of the content overlapping. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.4.4 (resize text).<\/p>\n Some of our forms are difficult to navigate using a keyboard. For example, because some form controls are missing a \u2018label\u2019 tag.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve assessed the cost of fixing the issues with accessing information and with interactive tools and transactions. We believe that doing so now would be a disproportionate burden<\/a> within the meaning of the accessibility regulations.<\/p>\n Some accessibility problems fall outside the scope of the accessibility regulations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Many of our older PDFs and Word documents do not meet accessibility standards – for example, they may not be structured so they\u2019re accessible to a screen reader. This does not meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.2 (name, role value).<\/p>\n Content that is essential to providing our services is accessible. In the future, new documents added to the site e.g. meeting minutes, will meet accessibility standards or we will provide content on accessible HTML pages instead of using downloadable documents.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/h3>\n
