Accessibility
Accessibility is a general term used to describe how easy
it is for people to get to, and use different services.
The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 gives disabled people
important rights of access to everyday information and services
that others take for granted. Allerdale Borough Council:
- does not treat disabled people less favourably because they are
disabled.
- is making reasonable adjustments to the way we deliver our
services so that disabled people can use them.
- considers the possibility of making permanent physical
adjustments to our premises to ensure disabled people can access
them.
Allerdale Borough Council must also ensure that any information
or services available electronically are also accessible to
disabled people. The Council's website now meets the Website
Accessibility Initiative level AAA, except for a very small number
of pages (such as the mapping page) which, due the technical nature
of their content, do not yet conform to these standards. The
Council welcomes your feedback and suggestions on how we can make
our website more accessible to you.
Your ideas and suggestions can be sent to us using our feedback form or via email at webmaster@allerdale.gov.uk.
