Sandhurst Town Council is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
Sandhurst Town Council is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability. We aim to adhere as closely as possible to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.2, Level AA), published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make Web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines will help make the web more user friendly to everyone. Whilst Sandhurst Town Council strive to adhere to the guidelines and standards for accessibility, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the website, and we are currently working to achieve this. Be aware that due to the dynamic nature of the website, minor issues may occasionally occur as it is updated regularly. We are continually seeking out solutions that will bring all areas of the site up to the same level of overall web accessibility.
PDFs and other documents
Some of our PDFs are essential to providing our services. For example, we have PDFs for meetings and agenda.
Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.
Live video
We do not plan to add captions (subtitles) to live video streams because live video is exempt
from meeting the accessibility regulations. To view live video streams of STCs meetings,
please visit our YouTube Channel: @SandhurstTownCouncil24
Dark mode
Our website provider is not able to offer dark mode for this site yet.
