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’).

Technical information about this website’s accessibility

Bromley SEND Local Offer is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

Compliance status

This website is compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version AA standard.

We are aware that some of our sub sites, videos and pdfs are not fully compliant and we are working with the system owners to rectify this. We are also aware that some of our old pdfs prior to September 2020 are not fully accessible. We are working to remove as many of these as possible.

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.

We are aware that some of our sub sites, videos and pdfs are not fully compliant and we are working with the system owners to rectify this. We are also aware that some of our old pdfs prior to September 2020 are not fully accessible. We are working to remove as many of these as possible.

PDFs and other documents

Some of our PDFs and Word documents are essential to providing our services. For example, some legislation requires documents or policies to be published in PDF or Word format. 

Some documents are designed to be printed and not used as digital documents. We have made the decision to host these documents on the website so that our users can download and print them if they wish, where this is the case we state that the document is intended for print and offline use only, and that it may not be fully accessible to screen readers or mobile devices.

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, unless specifically for print only purposes.  We have made many fully accessible using tools in Adobe Acrobat or by converting them to content pages and we have a continual improvement plan in place for this work.

Live video

We do not plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.

What we’re doing to improve accessibility

We use Ally by Elementor to help us comply with legislative requirements and website best practice guidance.

We ensure information within the site is of the maximum value to the customer
