North Lincolnshire Council is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability.
We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website and in doing so adhere to many of the available standards and guidelines.
Our target is for the website to meet or exceed level Double-A of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. However conformance with these guidelines will help make the web more user friendly for all people.
This site has been built using code compliant with W3C standards for HTML and CSS. The site displays correctly in current browsers and using standards compliant HTML/CSS code means any future browsers will also display it correctly.
Wherever possible we use plain English on the website. Plain English is language that everyone in our audience can easily understand. The only exceptions to this are documents that convey text of a technical or legal nature.
Whilst North Lincolnshire Council strive to adhere to the accepted guidelines and standards for accessibility and usability, it acknowledges that it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the website.
We are continually seeking out solutions that will bring all areas of the site up to the same level of overall web accessibility. In the meantime should you experience any difficulty in accessing the North Lincolnshire Council website, please don't hesitate to contact us using our online feedback form or by email at customerservice@northlincs.gov.uk.
