Accessibility Statement

This website is managed by Melbury Osmond Parish Council.  We want as many people as possible to be able to use it and, to this end, we are committed to making this website accessible and fully compliant, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No.2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

We strive to ensure that our services are accessible to all in the parish, so we have made the website text as simple as possible to understand.  However, AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

 

How Accessible is this website?

We continue our efforts to constantly improve the accessibility of this website and services in the belief that it is our collective moral obligation to allow seamless access. Despite our efforts to make all pages and content on this website fully accessible, some content may not be fully adapted to the strictest accessibility standards. i.e the website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guideline V2.1 AA This may be a result of us not having found or identified the most appropriate technological solution.

Issues with PDFs and other documents

The accessibility regulations don’t require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they are not essential to providing our services.  For example, we do not plan to fix documents we are not legally obliged to provide. However, any new documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.
