Technical information about this website’s accessibility
The Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care System 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
The Integrated Care System website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliance and the exemptions listed below.
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons:
Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations:
WCAG 2.4.2 Page titled: Some of our PDF documents do not have descriptive titles.
WCAG 1.3.1 Info and Relationships: Tables in PDF documents are not tagged to give information such as row and column titles.
WCAG 1.1.1 Non-text content: Alternative text is not provided for all images in PDF documents.
Disproportionate burden:
Some of the PDF documents on our website, such as meeting papers, contain hundreds of pages with detailed tables and large reports.
It is proposed that historical documents and documents that are difficult to fix will not be made accessible due to the small number of people accessing the documents and the time required to fix those documents balanced against the resources available. There is also a need to prioritise the ICB’s resources to ensuring high and medium importance documents are made accessible, while also implementing changes to the way in which documents are created, so as to avoid these issues continuing to occur. These historical documents will be available in alternative formats on request via nnicb-nn.comms@nhs.net / 0115 845 4545.
In assessing the proportionality of what measures to take, we have reviewed the number of times documents have been accessed, to inform our prioritisation of accessibility improvement measures. For those documents that have been classified as ‘difficult to fix’, we are satisfied that the vast majority of these have had very small numbers of views and/or requests for alternative forms of access.
Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
Live video
We do not plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.
