The Business Lincolnshire Growth Hub 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 and exemptions listed below.
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons:
Images on some pages do not always have suitable image descriptions. Users of assistive technologies may not have access to information conveyed in images. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1 (Non-text Content). We are currently working on this for completion by March 2021. When publishing new content, we will make sure our use of images meets the specified accessibility standards.
Some of our older videos may not feature captions. We are currently working to add captions and transcripts to all of our new videos and videos dated back to 2018. We aim to complete this by March 2021.
Many of our videos are embedded from YouTube and may feature labelling from YouTube itself, which is incorrect or not sufficiently descriptive.
Some buttons on our website might be repetitive without clear link purpose such as ‘read more’. We are working on this and aim to make the completed changes by March 2021.
We are aiming to make all of our headings clear and descriptive, which allows our users to find what they are looking for easily. We are working on this and aim to have this completed by March 2021.
1. PDFs and other documents
Many of our PDFs, Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents don’t currently meet accessibility standards such as being marked up to be accessible for use with a screen reader. Regulations don’t require us to fix PDFs and documents published before 23 September 2018 so we don’t currently plan on fixing documents before this date.
We are reviewing all of our downloadable documents with the aim to be completed by March 2026. Any new documents will be accessible where it is within our control.
We are working with our website developers to continually identify and resolve issues as they arise, as well as completing the fixes listed above.
