Hart 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.
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard. However, we are working to improve both compliance and the experience of our users.
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons:
Some of our PDF and non-HTML documents post 23 September 2018 are inaccessible. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1 (non-text content).
We cannot always guarantee that documents produced by external organisations published on our website are fully accessible. We host a number of documents in relation to the local plan and neighbourhood plans. It is not always possible to get different organisations to adhere to our accessibility requirements.
If this is the case and you need a document in an accessible format, please contact us using the contact details above.
As of August 2023, 33% of the 644 PDFs on our website are inaccessible but are unsuitable for remediation. Of the remainder:
Our fees and charges and statement of accounts do not currently meet the accessibility legislation. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.3.1 (Info and Relationships).
Non-HTML documents published before September 2018 do not need to be accessible, unless users need them to use a service.
Where we choose to feature third party content or functionality on our website, we are responsible for ensuring it meets accessibility standards. However, we are not responsible for the accessibility of third-party platforms or content that is neither funded nor developed by us, or under our control. This includes:
We do not plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.
We will continue working towards meeting WCAG level AA, including:
We monitor accessibility using automated checks via Silktide and manual checks.
We use Adobe Acrobat Pro to test PDF documents for accessibility.
