Accessibility to the website

The Office of Durham Police, Crime & Victims’ Commissioner endeavours to make our website accessible for everyone who visits it regardless of their skill level, technical ability or disability. This is in accordance to The Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018. We must ensure we do not unlawfully discriminate in our service delivery and make the appropriate adjustments accordingly.

How accessible is the website

Our new website has been in place since March 2021

The current website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1AA standard. The elements we have identified for further development are listed below:

Documents: Some historic documents are in PDF, they are still accessible to read but are not readable by screen reading software (docs prior to Sept 23rd 2018 do not need to be changed) 1.1.1

Language: We do not offer the website in different languages as google translate can read the information on a website that is accessibly compliant. 3.1.1

Language Used: Whilst every effort has been made to ensure that idioms and jargon have not been used quotes may still contain these – regulation 3.1.2
