The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is responsible for enforcing the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 (the ‘accessibility regulations’).

Wickham Skeith 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.
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons: non-compliance with the accessibility regulations
There’s no way to skip the repeated content in the page header. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.4.1 (bypass blocks).
It’s not always possible to change the device orientation from horizontal to vertical without making it more difficult to view the content. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.3.4 (orientation).
Many of our older PDFs and Word documents do not meet accessibility standards – for example, they may not be structured so they’re accessible to a screen reader. This does not meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.2.
The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing our services.
Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.
This website was last tested on 21st September 2020. The test was carried out by ourselves. We used this approach to decide on a sample of pages to test with static content, links and pictures. We tested our main website platform, available at http://wickhamskeith.suffolk.cloud/, and focused on the pages under the ‘Parish Council’ section of the website. The WAVE Accessibility Evaluation tool (www.webaim.org) was used for this check.
This statement was prepared on 23rd September 2020. It was last updated on 20th October 2020. The basic site test is scheduled to be run again in June 2021.
