Technical information about this website's accessibility

This website is compliant (at March 2026) with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard.

The website was examined by the website provider Suffolk Cloud (now Pear Space) during February and March 2026 and all errors and warnings were rectified.

From September 2020 any new documents (PDFs or Word documents) loaded onto the website will include the following: Alternative text to be provided with visuals; meaningful hyperlink text added; colour not used to convey information; sufficient contrast is used for text and background colours; built in headings and styles are used; table structures to be simple with column header information.

The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23rd September 2018 if they are not essential to providing our services. For example, we do not plan to fix copies of minutes. 

​​​​What we’re doing to improve accessibility

  • Monitoring the accessibility of our website including an annual examination by the website provider.
  • Making our PDF documents as accessible as possible.
  • Where possible, creating HTML pages rather than PDF documents
  • Continue to work to resolve all identified accessibility issues which are within our control and will release them to the website as soon as they are completed.

Kedington Parish Council is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines Version 2.2 AA standard.
