What accessible content means


Responsibility for making content accessible

Anyone who writes, creates or commissions content for our websites must make sure it's accessible. This includes content you:

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

This content could be:

  • web page content
  • documents uploaded to one of our public facing websites, intranet or SharePoint sites
  • forms and surveys
  • video and audio-only content (like podcasts)

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
