Accessibility
Accessibility is a general term used to describe how easy it is
for people to get to, and use different services.
The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 gives disabled people
important rights of access to everyday information and services
that others take for granted.
- Carlisle City Council does not treat disabled people less
favourably because they are disabled.
- We are making reasonable adjustments to the way we deliver our
services so that disabled people can use them.
- We consider the possibility of making permanent physical
adjustments to our premises to ensure disabled people can access
them.
Carlisle City Council must also ensure that any information or
services available electronically are also accessible to disabled
people. The Council's website now meets the Website Accessibility
Initiative level AAA, except for a very small number of pages (such
as the mapping page) which, due the technical nature of their
content, do not yet conform to these standards.
We welcome your feedback and suggestions on how we can make our
website more accessible to you. Your ideas and suggestions can be
sent to us using our
feedback form or by email to webmaster@carlisle.gov.uk.
