Oxfordshire Data Hub Accessibility Statement

Oxfordshire County Council is committed to making its website and mobile applications accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

This accessibility statement applies to the data.oxfordshire.gov.uk website. It does not cover other county council sub domains which have their own accessibility statements.

How you should be able to use this website

We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. You should be able to:
• change colours, contrast levels and fonts using browser or device settings
• zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
• navigate most of the website using a keyboard or speech recognition software
• listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)
We also make the website text as simple as possible to understand.
AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

How accessible this website is

Parts of this website are not fully accessible. For example:
• some pages and documents contain maps which may not be accessible but the data should be available in a table to read or download.
• The site is being loaded with new data and will undergo a full test to identify any issues with the newly loaded content in January 2025 and the accessibility statement will be updated with any issues we must still work on.

Enforcement procedure

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is responsible for enforcing the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 (the ‘accessibility regulations’). If you’re not happy with how we respond to your complaint, contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS).
