This website is run by Fenland District Council. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:
change colours, contrast levels and fonts using browser or device settings
zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
navigate most of the website using just a keyboard or speech recognition software
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
Our website is partially accessible.
This is to do with a number of issues that may impact users who are using the website with screen readers, or navigating with a keyboard.

Compliance status
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.
Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations
Our website is partially accessible. This is because of the following errors on some pages:
Select elements do not have an associated label element
Heading elements are not in a sequentially descending order
Background and foreground colours do not have a sufficient contrast ratio
Definition lists are not correctly marked up for screen readers
Lists are not correctly marked up for screen readers
Screen readers cannot get a clear description of content within a frame
Users navigating with a keyboard cannot focus on some elements
Button and alt text values repeat themselves, meaning that screen reader users may hear the same information twice
These issues have been logged with our website provider who are working to fix them as soon as possible. Priority will be given to the faults who will most impact potential users from being able to access and apply for job vacancies.
Content not within the scope of accessibility regulations
Non-HTML documents published before September 2018 do not need to be accessible unless users need them to use a service.
