Technical information about this website’s accessibility
Ealing Council is committed to making our corporate recruitment website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
Headings
On some pages there are no top-level headings. A top-level heading helps screen reader users and search engines to know the main topic of a page. This doesn’t meet WCAG 2 success criterion 1.3.1 Information and Relationships and 2.4.10 Section Headings.
When we publish new content, we’ll make sure our use of headings meets accessibility standards.
Some images contain text, so people with dyslexia or using a screen reader will not be able to read the information. This doesn’t meet WCAG 2 success criterion 1.4.5 (Images of Text).
When we publish new content, we’ll make sure our use of images meets accessibility standards.
