We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

Technical information about this website’s accessibility
The ClementJames Centre 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 partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below.
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
Disproportionate burden
Some visual presentations of text and images of text do not have a contrast ratio of at least 4:5:1. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.4.3.
Having been quoted for a redesign of the website, we do not currently have the budget to hire a web developer to carry out a redesign in this financial year.
Some non-text functions do not have a contrast ratio of 3.1. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.3.11. As above, having been quoted for a redesign of the website, we do not currently have the budget to hire a web developer to carry out a redesign in this financial year.
Some error messages are not helpful when filling out forms. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 3.3.3. Our forms are built and hosted through third party software and ‘skinned’ to look like our website. Having researched the web programming expertise required put this feature in place, as above we currently do not have the budget to hire a web programmer to carry this out this financial year, nor do we already have the expertise required currently.
Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
Images
Some images are used purely for decorative purposes. The accessibility regulations do not require us to provide a text alternative as per WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1.
PDFs and other documents
Some of our PDFs are essential to providing our services. For example, we have PDFs with information on how users can access our services. By December 2020 we plan to either fix these or add accessible HTML pages. We will also try to ensure that any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards and where we find any that are not accessible, we will try to rectify this as soon as possible. Where we have third-party documents on our website, we have asked whether a plain-text version can be provided but regret that we cannot provide an alternative ourselves.
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. For example, we do not plan to fix old Impact Reports available on our website.
