Website’s accessibility

The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Humberside is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.

Non-accessible content

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

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

Older PDF and Word documents may not be fully accessible. From August 2020 all PDF content uploaded to the site was made accessible. Any areas of added content that are essential and do not meet the standard will be noted and an action plan to address them will be created.

Some images do not have a text alternative, so people using a screen reader cannot access the information. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1 (non-text content).

Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations

PDFs and other documents

Some of our older PDFs and Word documents are essential to meeting our statutory obligations but will not meet accessibility standards - for example, they may not be structured so they’re accessible to a screen reader. This does not meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion. From August 2020 all PDF content uploaded to the site was made accessible

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.

It is our intention that any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.

Live video

We do not currently broadcast live video. Should we do so in the future we do not plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.
