some PDF and MS Word documents are not fully accessible
some images do not have alternative text explanations

some of the associated mini-sites are not fully accessible

Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons:

PDFs and Other Documents
Some of our older PDF and MS Word documents do not meet accessibility standards. (They fail WCAG 2.1 success criteria listed under Guidelines 2.4 – Navigable and/or 1.1.1 Non-text Content.) Other than those subject to exemption (see below).
If you would like to request any documents in different formats, please contact rbstacc@gmail.com.

Images

Some images do not have a text alternative so people using a screen reader cannot access the information. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1 (non-text content). When we publish new content we’ll make sure our use of images meets accessibility standards.

Content Not Within the Scope of the Accessibility Regulations

The following content is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.

PDFs and Other Documents
The accessibility regulations do not require us to address issues with office file formats, such as Adobe PDF or Microsoft Office documents, published before 23 September 2018. This does not apply to documents that are essential to providing our services.

Documents Supplied by Third Parties
In some cases, we are obliged to publish original documents provided by third parties. The content and format of these documents is outwith our control. For example, documents supplied in support of certain applications.

Archive Content
We maintain an archive of old committee agendas and reports, predominantly based on PDF documents that may not meet accessibility guidelines. We also maintain an archive of committee audio files that are not accompanied by a transcription. We do not plan to update these elements as they are exempt.
