Accessibility

Accessibility is about making our online information available to as many people as possible, whatever their needs.

This accessibility statement applies to derwentvalleyline.org.uk. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
  • navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

Reporting accessibility problems with this website

We’re always looking to improve the accessibility of this website. If you find any problems not listed on this page or think we’re not meeting accessibility requirements, please contact us.

Non-accessible content

The content types listed below are non-accessible for the following reasons:

  • some of our videos are not captioned and rely on auto-generated captions that may not be completely accurate
  • some of our images may not have text alternatives, so people using a screen reader cannot access the information. We are working to add text alternatives to all our images and for any new content we’ll make sure our use of images meets accessibility standards
  • some of our PDFs may not meet accessibility standards.

Disproportionate burden

We do not believe there is any content on this site for which we need to claim a disproportionate burden.

External links

This website links to third-party, external websites or services that may not be fully accessible.

However, some of our information is available to view or download in a document – usually in Portable Document Format (PDF). Free software is available to view PDF file types.
