Technical information about this website’s accessibility

Lincolnshire County Council is committed to making its websites accessible, as per the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

This website is compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1  AA standard.

Non-accessible content

The content that is not accessible will be outlined below with details of:

  • where it fails the success criteria
  • planned dates for when issues will be fixed

Content that is not within the scope of the accessibility regulations

The following content does not need to comply with the accessibility requirement until September 2020, because it was published before September 2018.

Images on pages do not always have suitable alternative text. Some images are missing alternative text, some have incomplete text and some have ‘placeholder’ as alternative text. This fails WCAG 1.1.1A success criterion (Non-text Content). We plan to identify and fix these by September 2020.

We will help content authors understand the requirements for captions and audio description for all new videos. This is related to WCAG 2.1A success criteria 1.2.2 (Captions (Prerecorded)) and 1.2.3 Audio Description or Media Alternative (Prerecorded).

PDFs and other documents

Many documents are not accessible in a number of ways including missing text alternatives and missing document structure.

To report any problems or request documents in an alternative format, please contact the Clerk of Frampton Parish Council.

What we are doing to improve accessibility

We plan to identify and fix issues to a set of timescales which we will publish here.
