Reporting accessibility problems with this website

We’re always looking to improve the accessibility of this website. If you find any
problems not listed on this page or think we’re not meeting accessibility
requirements, contact: rediscover@oxford.gov.uk.

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’). If you’re not happy with how we
respond to your complaint, contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service
(EASS).

We are committed to making this website accessible, in accordance with the Public
Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations
2018.

Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
version 2.1 AA standard, due to visual content and reduced audio.
We will meet WCAG 2.1 AA standard in full by September 23 2020.

Accessibility problems

Some images do not have a text alternative, so people using a screen reader cannot
access the information. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1 (non-text
content).

We are adding text alternatives for all images and will have completed this by the end of September 2020. When we publish new content we’ll make sure our use of images meets accessibility standards.

Text to audio function is not available on all pages.

Disproportionate burden

It’s not possible for users to change text size without some of the content overlapping.

We do not plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.

What we’re doing to improve accessibility

We aim to improve accessibility for everyone. This statement was prepared on
14/08/2020 and will be reviewed frequently.
