Accessibility statement

This accessibility statement applies to the website at eastcambs.co.uk. It follows the structure of the UK government’s model accessibility statement.

Using this website

This website is run by EastCambs.co.uk. We want as many people as possible to be able to use it. For example, you should be able to:

change colours, contrast levels and fonts using your browser or device settings
zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
navigate the whole website using just a keyboard
navigate the website using speech recognition software
listen to the website using a screen reader
use the website in Windows high contrast mode (forced colours)
turn off animation using your device’s “reduce motion” setting

We’ve also made the text as simple as possible to understand, and we use Atkinson Hyperlegible, a typeface designed by the Braille Institute to improve legibility for people with low vision.

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

How accessible this website is

We believe this website is fully compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 at level AA. We know of some limitations:

we link to many external websites run by other organisations, and we can’t guarantee their accessibility
the illustrations on this site are decorative and are hidden from screen readers; they don’t contain information that isn’t also in the text

Accessibility features

A “skip to main content” link at the top of each page
Clear page structure using headings, landmarks and lists
Text and interactive elements that meet WCAG AA colour contrast ratios, with most text meeting AAA
A highly visible yellow and black focus indicator for keyboard users
Links that are underlined, not shown by colour alone, and that make sense out of context
Touch targets of at least 24 by 24 pixels, and most at least 44 by 44 pixels
A menu that works without JavaScript
Gentle animations that play once, never loop, and switch off completely when your device is set to reduce motion
No cookies, pop-ups, auto-playing media or time limits

Feedback and contact information

If you need information on this website in a different format, or you find a problem that isn’t listed on this page, email hello@eastcambs.co.uk. We’ll consider your request and aim to get back to you within 10 working days.

Enforcement and your rights

Under the Equality Act 2010, service providers must make reasonable adjustments so that disabled people aren’t put at a disadvantage. If you’re not happy with how we respond to your complaint, contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS).

Technical information about this website’s accessibility

EastCambs.co.uk is committed to making its website accessible, in line with the Equality Act 2010. We use the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 level AA standard, which is also the standard the UK’s public sector accessibility regulations require.

Compliance status

This website is fully compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard.

Content that’s not within the scope of this statement

Content on external websites that we link to is the responsibility of the organisations that run them.

How we tested this website

Every page is checked automatically each time the site changes using:

axe-core, against the WCAG 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 A and AA rules
html-validate, for valid, well-structured HTML
a colour contrast check of every colour pairing in our design
axe-core again with animations switched on, to make sure text never drops below the contrast standard part-way through an animation

We also check pages manually with a keyboard only, at 400% zoom and at 320 pixels wide, and with reduced motion enabled.
