Framlingham Town Council is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.

Non-accessible content

We have endeavoured to add text alternatives for all images but there may still be some images where this has not yet been added.

PDFs and other documents

Some of our PDF documents are essential to providing our services. For example, we have PDFs with information on how users can access our services.

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.

Any new PDF documents we publish will meet accessibility standards. Any older pdfs will be updated where possible to meet these standards.
