This accessibility statement applies to www.eastgoscote-pc.gov.uk
This website is run by East Goscote Parish Council. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:
change colours, contrast levels and fonts using browser or device settings
zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
navigate most of the website using a keyboard or speech recognition software
listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)
We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.
AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

Enforcement procedure
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is responsible for enforcing the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 (the ‘accessibility regulations’). If you’re not happy with how we respond to your complaint, contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS).
Information about this website’s accessibility
East Goscote Parish Council is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
The website was created by Town and Parish Council Websites (Dweller Hill).
Compliance status
The website has been tested against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA standard.
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard, due to ‘the exemptions’ listed below.
Disproportionate burden
We consider that the costs to conduct a full accessibility audit on this site represent a disproportionate burden to the organisation in terms of cost.
We have therefore had to conduct a basic accessibility check as advised on GOV.UK , as part of our accessibility audit and used the free resources and tools that are available.
Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
PDFs and other documents:
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 PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.
Preparation of this accessibility statement
This statement was prepared on 14th October 2024. It was last reviewed on 20.7.26.
This website was last tested on 22nd June 2026 against the WCAG 2.2 AA standard.
The test was carried out by the Parish Council. The most viewed pages were tested using automated testing tools.
We do not have the technical expertise in-house to conduct a full audit, and we do not have the resources to get a third-party to conduct a full audit.
As part of the website management contract, Town and Parish Councils (Dweller Hill) carry our quarterly accessibility checks, with minor amendments made at the time of review.
