We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

Enforcement procedure
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’).

Information about this website’s accessibility
East Goscote 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.
The website was created by the AppOffice.com and uses WordPress.
Compliance status
The website has been tested against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA standard.
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard, due to ‘the exemptions’ listed below.
- Disproportionate burden
We consider that the costs to conduct a full accessibility audit on this site represent a disproportionate burden to the organisation in terms of cost.
We have therefore had to conduct a basic accessibility check as advised on GOV.UK , as part of our accessibility audit and used the free resources and tools that are available.
We will make another assessment when the supplier contract is up for renewal, likely to be August 2026.
- Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
PDFs and other documents:
- 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.
