Technical information about this website’s accessibility
South Cambridgeshire District Council 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
The website has been tested against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA standard.
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard, due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below.
Non-accessible content
Pages scroll in two dimensions on small screens
We know on some of our pages, the content does not fit without scrolling in two dimensions. This therefore means on some aspects of the site we will fail WCAG2.1 AA 1.4.10.
We are working with our developers to resolve this before the website fully launches on 2 December 2025.
Page titles
We know some of our pages do not have appropriate page titles, defined in the title tag. This therefore means some of the website will fail WCAG2.0 A 2.4.2.
We are currently working through each page with a hope to resolve this by 2 December 2025.
Appropriate alt text
We know across some of this website, the images used do not have the appropriate alt text. This therefore means some of the website will fail WCAG2.0 A 1.1.1.
We are currently working through the images on the website and where appropriate, marking these as decorative or adding the appropriate alt text. This will be resolved by 2 December 2025.
HTML in a meaningful sequence
Some elements of this website do not flow in a linear order when using a screen reader. This therefore means some of the website will fail WCAG2.0 A 1.3.2.
We are working with our developers to resolve this before the website fully launches on 2 December 2025.
Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
Maps
Our maps aren’t used for navigational purposes so are exempt from the accessibility regulations.
Documents written by third parties
Some of our documents are written by third parties. Third-party content that is neither funded nor developed by, nor under the control of South Cambridgeshire District Council is also exempt from the accessibility regulations. This includes the Neighbourhood Plan documents.
