How accessible this website is
Ealing Council is committed to making its websites accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018. A rebuild and upgrade of this site (formerly ealingnewsextra.co.uk – and now called aroundealing.com) took place in July 2021 and made a number of improvements in this regard.

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 are not happy with how we respond to your complaint, contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS).
PDFs and other documents
We provide past editions of Around Ealing magazine in interactive e-magazine format, and also in PDF format.
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.
Any new PDFs or Word documents we might publish should meet accessibility standards and we will endeavour to make sure they do.
Images
Some images in older news page archives (pre-September 2018) may not have a text alternative (alt text), so the information in them is not available to people using a screen reader. All images uploaded from, and including, September 2018 do have alt text and when we publish new content we endeavour to make sure our use of images meets accessibility standards.
Preparation of this accessibility statement
This statement was prepared on 30 July 2021.
aroundealing.com is due to be tested by Ealing Council using automated software Siteimprove.
