Website accessibility

The current Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) requires that goods and services are offered on equal terms to people with disabilities.

Brent Council is committed to providing its online services to all sections of the public. Our website is being designed to follow the accessibility guidelines issued by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB).

 

We are committed to making our website as accessible as possible. We aim to meet level 2 of the International Web Accessibility standards in all parts of the website. Unfortunately, we are currently in the process of moving our content into a new system so some parts of the website do not meet this standard. We are working on this. Thank you for your patience.

Our site is speech enabled using 'Browsealoud' software which needs to be downloaded and installed.
This is a free service and you can download the software at:
