Accessibility statement
Accessibility is a baseline for Town Desk, not an afterthought.
Town Desk targets WCAG 2.2 Level AA conformance — the accessibility standard UK public bodies are legally required to meet.
Town Desk is designed and built to meet WCAG 2.2 AA — the standard UK public bodies are legally required to meet. That commitment applies both to this website and to the Town Desk product your council’s staff and councillors use.
What we do
- Semantic, keyboard-navigable pages with a skip link and visible focus styles.
- Colour contrast that meets AA, and a layout that respects reduced-motion preferences.
- Real alternative text on images and meaningful link text.
- An accessibility statement built into the product for councils to adopt.
