This accessibility statement applies to www.resilientogether.org.uk.
This website is run by Central Bedfordshire 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
- zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
- navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
- navigate most of the website using 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.

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations
Navigation
On https://resilientogether.org.uk/locations/ the arrow links do not have accessible names. This fails WCAG 2.1 A F89 Section 508 (2017) A F89.

https://resilientogether.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Stormwater-Sensing-Technologies-Case-Study.pdf
This fails WCAG 2.1 A F65 Section 508 (2017) A F65
Disproportionate burden
Some of the text and background colours in the footer do not have sufficient contrast ratio after composition. This fails WCAG 2.1 AA 1.4.3 Section 508 (2017). This is due to the use of brand colours, but while the contrast ratio is lower than required, the design context on the page aids clarity.
Several links on https://resilientogether.org.uk/locations/, https://resilientogether.org.uk/pix-brook-observatory/dashboard/?view=map share the same link text and surrounding context but go to different destinations. This fails WCAG 2.1 A F63 Section 508 (2017). This is due to the nature of the page which aggregates the different reports, meaning the link text is going to be the same for each item.
