Website Accessibility Statement
The Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) Accessibility Regulations 2018 requires public sector bodies, which includes local councils, to ensure reasonable adjustments are made to websites so they are accessible to people with various disabilities. These include:
• Impaired vision
• Motor difficulties
• Cognitive impairments or learning disabilities
• Deafness or impaired hearing
From 23 September 2020 all local council websites will have to comply with those regulations.
Kempsey Parish Council understands these requirements but must advise that this current website is not compliant with these regulations, and due to its age is unable to be so. We are currently working with a website design company to produce an up to date and fully compliant new website.
