Disproportionate burden

We believe that the cost required to fix some of the following issues now would be a disproportionate burden within the meaning of the accessibility regulations. There are some issues we don’t believe need to be fixed now. For example something that may technically be considered an accessibility issue, but is actually unlikely to make it difficult for someone to use the website.

Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations

Our Initial Business Plan summary PDF may not meet accessibility standards – for example, it may not be structured so it’s accessible to a screen reader. This does not meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.2 (Name, Role Value).
