Accessibility statement for weareeastbourne.org.uk
This accessibility statement applies to the Eastbourne Neighbourhood Board website weareeastbourne.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
We’ve also tried to 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
We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible:
- some pages and document downloads are not fully accessible to screen readers
- some colour contrasts do not meet accessibility standards
- some older PDF documents are not fully accessible
- some areas may be harder to navigate by keyboard only
- some parts of the website may not fully adapt when using different devices or zoom levels
We are a community organisation and while we aim to make our site accessible, the design-led nature of our site means we cannot guarantee full compliance with accessibility standards at this time.

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. If you’re not happy with how we respond to your complaint, contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS).
Technical information about this website’s accessibility
The Eastbourne Neighbourhood Board is committed to making its website accessible, in line with the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations.
Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations
We know that:
- some older PDFs and documents are not fully accessible to screen readers
- some colour contrasts do not meet minimum requirements
- some design-led layouts may make it harder to navigate the website in certain ways
We are working on improvements where possible but cannot guarantee full compliance due to the highly visual and design-led nature of the site.
Disproportionate burden
We have assessed our resources and capacity as a community organisation. Making all design elements fully compliant would impose a disproportionate burden. However, we are committed to making continuous improvements where we reasonably can.
Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
Some older PDFs and third-party content that we link to are not within the scope of the accessibility regulations.
What we’re doing to improve accessibility
We will continue to:
- review new content to ensure it is created with accessibility in mind
- listen to feedback from users and make adjustments where possible
- consider accessibility improvements in future website updates
Preparation of this accessibility statement
This statement was prepared on 26 September 2025. It will be reviewed regularly.
