Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below.
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
Many of our older PDF documents do not meet accessibility standards - for example, they may not be marked up so they are accessible to a screen reader.
The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they are not essential to providing our services. For example, we do not plan to fix our Statement of Accounts 2017-2018. However, we plan to review and replace all other static PDF documents that do not meet the accessibility guidelines by the end of December 2022. Periodic or annual documents will not be included as they will naturally be replaced by later versions that will meet the accessibility guidelines.
Some 3rd party documents published on our website are not accessible but are excluded under regulation 4(2)(e) of the accessibility regulations.
We recognise that currently not all our documents meet these standards but we are actively working to rectify this. If in the meantime you require a particular document that needs updating as a priority then please use the link below to inform us.
Our preferred option is now to provide accessible HTML versions of documents and reports in preference to PDF documents.
