Some documents published between 24 September 2018 - 24 January 2022 may not be fully accessible for various reasons. 

These include:

• Missing headings or headings that don’t follow a logical order - This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.3.1 (Info and Relationships)
• Missing titles - This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.4.2 (Page Titled)
• Default language not specified - This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 3.1.1 (Language of Page) 
• Some links to other websites may not be fully accessible - This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.4.4 (Link Purpose In Context)
• Some images may not have alternative text - This fails WCAG success criterion 1.1.1 (Non Text Context)
• Some tables, including nested tables, may not be easily readable - This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.3.2 (Meaningful Sequence)

Of the documents we assessed, 45 need to be transferred into online/accessible forms. We aim to fix this by 31 March 2022.

We’ve assessed the cost and resources required to fix our less popular PDFs. We believe that doing so now would be a disproportionate burden within the meaning of the accessibility regulations. We will continue to monitor these documents and make further assessments when each document is due to be updated (timescales for this vary according to the document) or sooner if resources allow.

We plan to make sure that all PDFs published on or after 24 January 2022 meet accessibility standards. 

Due to time and resources, it may not always be possible to fix all PDFs before they are published.  When this is the case we will assess the cost and resources required to fix them, and in some cases, we may find they meet the criteria for disproportionate burden at that time.  The following documents were considered to be a disproportionate burden to fix at the time of publication, but will be reviewed again in the future:

PDFs and other documents

The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing our services. 

Live video

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

Maps

The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix online maps and mapping services, as long as essential information is provided in an accessible digital manner for maps intended for navigational use. Online mapping applications are used on the Surrey Heath Borough Council website. General mapping is used which is traditional online mapping designed to show boundary and location information for themes such as borough and ward boundaries, public rights of way, conservation areas and listed buildings. Maps are also available on our public planning portal. The intention of these maps is to display the boundary of a planning application retrieved through a search. Due to the nature of maps, these are not able to be accessible, although where appropriate are augmented by written text. They maps are not designed for navigation purposes and are thus exempt from the accessibility regulations.
