Accessibility Roadmap
As stated in the non-compliance section, the known issues are listed below:
- HTML– the underlying code used to create this website.
- CSS– used to describe how HTML elements are displayed on this website.
- JavaScript– a development language used to program behaviours on this website.
- 3rd Party Functionality
- Content – this could include web page content or associated PDFs on this website.
A program of work is now underway to address these issues and involves working with Durham County Council’s in-house developers/designers as well as third party functionality providers.
We aim to resolve the above items by September 2021.
Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
- PDFs/documents (pre September 2018): PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 or documents that are not essential to providing our services
- pre-recorded audio and video published before 23 September 2020
- live audio and video
- interactive maps unless they provide core information
We re-assess a website or system for accessibility whenever it undergoes a major modification.
We check all new content we add.
