UPDATE ON WED, 23rd SEPTEMBER
—
From today, new regulations come into force with respect to the accessibility of existing public authority websites by people with a disability, whether it is vision, hearing, motor or cognitive.  Much work has gone on in the last few months to bring this to fruition, so regular viewers will maybe notice a few subtle changes to the website.

The Accessibility Statement can be viewed here.

Dear One Suffolk Customer,

As you may be aware, website accessibility for those people with differing forms of visual impairment is becoming an ever more important feature of modern websites.

Indeed for local government websites, there is a requirement to meet the WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guideline) 2.1 Website Accessibility Standard by September 23rd 2020.

Here at One Suffolk we make all our websites accessible and I'm pleased to be able to update you on some additional works, to help in the area of accessibility, we have completed and launched in the last couple of days. On all One Suffolk websites you will now notice a small "disability icon" on the left hand side of all pages on your site. This provides in-built facilities for users with forms of visual impairment to change the colour contrast of the page and change the text size. ...

Yours faithfully

Matthew Morling

IT Manager – Community Action Suffolk / One Suffolk
