What accessible content is

Anyone who writes, creates or commissions content for our websites is legally responsible for making sure its accessible. This includes content you:

• write or create yourself
• commission external organisations to create on behalf of Nottinghamshire County Council

Learn what content you need to make accessible

While there are minimum standards we must follow, no content will be 100% accessible to all users in all situations. 

You may need to give users a way to request a version of your content that meets their specific access needs. For example, an easy read document, BSL version or contact details if they would like to speak with a person.  

Consider making all your content accessible

Consider making all content you create or commission accessible - even if you do not intend to publish it on our websites. This is because: 

• accessible content is easier for most people to use, access and understand
• people you share your content with might have a disability you do not know about
• you may need to use it to deliver your services
• you might need to publish it online in the future
• it can help you upskill and feel confident about accessibility
