Yarmouth Town Council acknowledges that this is an anticipatory and continuing work in progress and, in order to ensure no user is disadvantaged while this work is carried out, Yarmouth Town Council intends to respond to all requests for assistance with accessibility by altering the necessary content as soon as possible within a reasonable timeframe.

Yarmouth Town Council will make reasonable adjustments to ensure specific individual needs that cannot be addressed by mainstreamed adjustments are met.

Yarmouth Town Council will adhere to the following principles in relation to its website:

• The website shall provide appropriate channels of communication for feedback about accessibility.
• The website shall meet level AA of the of the W3C recommended version of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.

This policy was last reviewed and updated in April 2020.

The policy was reworded to take into account that the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) guidelines have been updated to version 2.1. We have reviewed  the policy in light of these changes. The primary focus for WCAG 2.1 is requirements for people with low vision and cognitive and learning disabilities as well as mobile accessibility.
