Accessibility statement for Gull Wing Bridge Project

This website is run by Gull Wing Bridge Project on behalf of Suffolk County Council.

We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website.

For example, that means you should be able to:·

  1. zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
  2. navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
  3. navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
  4. 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.

How accessible this website is

We know that some parts of this website are not fully accessible as set out below.

Basic website accessibility check

The Gull Wing Bridge Project website is covered under the Suffolk County Council disproportionate burden assessment. This means only a basic check of this website has been undertaken. See further details of the Suffolk County Council assessment on their website. We have listed tests which Gull Wing Bridge has failed or there are issues with, and the timeframes for correcting these. We will update this information as the items which fail or have issues are resolved.

Text content

Headings throughout the website are not tagged and nested correctly. This will be resolved in consultation with Community Action Suffolk by 31 December 2021.

PDFs and other documents

Some PDFs have not been prepared with a view to accessibility due to their age. We believe that having to redesign every leaflet available on Gull Wing Bridge would be a disproportionate burden within the meaning of the accessibility regulations. Going forward, leaflets will be designed to comply with the accessibility regulations.

How we tested this website

This website was last reviewed and tested in September 2020.

We carried out our own testing following the basic check from the Government website and using https://wave.webaim.org/
