Technical information about this website’s accessibility
Surrey Heath Borough Council 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 fully compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard.
Content that’s not within the scope of 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 maps are integrated into the My Surrey Heath application. The purpose of these maps is to provide contextual location data (such as a ward boundary) alongside written textual descriptions. Due to the nature of maps, these are not able to be accessible, although where appropriate are augmented by written text. The maps are not designed for navigation purposes and are thus exempt from the accessibility regulations.
What we’re doing to improve accessibility
We will continue to review My Surrey Heath to ensure compliance is maintained, reviewing every six months.
