We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website.

For example, that means you should be able to:

  • Change colours, contrast levels and fonts
  • Navigate the website using just a keyboard
  • Navigate the website using speech recognition software
  • Listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

Norfolk County Council has helpful resources on AbilityNet for making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

How accessible this website is

We aim to meet the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 at AA level.

  • The Norfolk Assistance Scheme form has several issues that mean it may be more difficult if you’re using a screenreader or you have cognitive impairments
  • The text in some elements on the site doesn’t resize correctly
  • Many older PDF documents are not fully accessible to screen reader software
  • Live video streams do not have captions
  • The waste types table may be unclear if you rely on a screenreader
