Accessibility

We are working with our suppliers to resolve the listed issues by the end of March 2025.

To improve accessibility we:

• monitor new content to make sure it meets the standards before it is published
• review existing pages when making updates to ensure they are compliant
• where possible publish information as web pages rather than PDF documents
• where possible convert forms that are documents to online forms
• engage with services who have invested in third-party software to make sure documents produced by them and need to be posted on the Slough Borough Council website are accessible.

Within the council, staff awareness on the importance of accessibility is being incorporated into events and activities which include:

• providing guidance and training to teams on creating accessible documents
• supplying reminders and best practice tips through internal communication forums and newsletters
• creating accessible content training courses within the council’s intranet and talent management system, Cornerstone for staff to access and learn.
