We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible so that it can be understood by all.

Technical information about this website’s accessibility

Public Health Berkshire is committed to making its 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 a number of non-compliances and exemptions which we have listed below.

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons:

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

• Graphs aren’t readable when navigating with keyboard only – This affects graph-viewing tools that appear as a hover, such as the zoom and image download buttons
• Google Translate plug-in cannot be modified – This issue fails WCAG 2.1 criterion. We are aware of this, however this cannot be rectified due to the plug-in utilising third party software
• Map can’t be interacted with keyboard – We have featured a dropdown list as an alternative, which means users aren’t able to perform more actions than those who can access with a mouse
• Some of the files on this website might not be in an accessible format such as our weekly reports. We are working on a more accessible format for these
• Some of the images on this website might not be in an accessible format such as infographics (where possible we will supply a text only version to compensate for this)

What we’re doing to improve accessibility

We have monitoring in place to review the accessibility of the site on an ongoing basis. We use this monitoring to identify and fix any new issues that occur. We also respond to any issues identified quickly and effectively.

We have noted proposed resolution dates next to any issues that we are aware of, and we will update this statement once these are complete.
