Accessibility statement

Using these pages

Our aim is that people can read and use the council information with a keyboard, screen reader, magnification or speech recognition. The accessibility target is WCAG 2.2 level AA.

Accessibility of linked documents

Accessibility compliance is not certified. Some linked documents may be difficult to use with assistive technology. The signed 2025/26 audit return has an extractable text layer with errors. Image-only scans cannot be read as text by screen readers.

Ask for an accessible copy or report a problem

Email the Parish Clerk at klparishclerk@kingtonlangley-pc.gov.uk. Include the page or document name, its link, the problem and the format you need.

Enforcement procedure

The Equality and Human Rights Commission enforces the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018. If you are unhappy with the response to an accessibility complaint, contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS).

Documents and exemptions

The general exemption for office documents applies to files published before 23 September 2018, unless they are needed for active administrative processes. It is not a blanket exemption for all old or signed documents. A scanned signature does not remove the need for accessible content. Any other exemption or disproportionate-burden claim needs a documented assessment; none is claimed here.

Linking to a council-owned document on the previous website does not automatically make it exempt third-party content.

Preparation and review

Prepared 15 October 2026 through an editorial review of the council pages and existing accessibility notice. This was not an independent WCAG audit.
