Accessibility

We've been using the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 to help make the Explore East Cambs website a positive place for everyone.

The WCA Guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, and user friendly for everyone. The guidelines have three levels of accessibility (A, AA and AAA). We aim to ensure this website achieves "Level AA" conformance to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1.

East Cambridgeshire District Council is committed to:

  • maintaining an accessible website.
  • ensuring that this website achieves "Level AA" conformance to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, to comply with the National Disability Authority’s Code of Practice on Accessibility of Public Services and Information Provided by Public Bodies.
  • ensuring that all new information on the website will achieve "Level AA" conformance to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1.
  • including accessibility when we upgrade existing systems.


We’ve worked hard on the Explore East Cambs website and believe we’ve achieved our goal of "Level AA" accessibility.

We monitor the website regularly to maintain this, but if you do find any problems, please get in touch with our team:
