- Scope
-
Accessibility legislation (on legislation.gov.uk website) states that public sector websites must publish content in an accessible format, unless doing so would impose a disproportionate burden on the organisation. If that is the case, an assessment of the extent to which compliance with the accessibility requirement imposes a disproportionate burden must be carried out.
This is a Disproportionate Burden Assessment for the Resident Involvement Strategy document which is in PDF format.
- Benefits of making accessible
-
The benefits of creating an HTML version of this PDF would be:
- a fully accessible version for all users to access
- an easily searchable and indexable version
- Burden of making accessible
-
We estimate the document would take 1 working day to be made accessible.
However, the document needed to be added urgently due to restructure of the service.
The document has been added temporarily and will be replaced by the final document once cabinet has approved it.
- Other factors
-
Also relevant to this decision are that:
- We are required to make the document available to the public, so the document must be published on the Council’s website
- Due to the nature of this content, there was a need to publish the document quickly, so we took the decision to publish the PDF as a temporary measure
- Requests for additionally accessible versions are rare
- We have and will always assist with accessible versions on request
- Assessment
-
We estimate the document would take 1 working day to be made accessible.
Timescales were brought forward meaning compromises had to be made on accessibility compliance.
The document has been added temporarily and will be replaced by the final document once cabinet has approved it.
