Accessibility Statement
Valleys to Coast is committed to providing accessible online services. Our website is designed to follow the guidelines issued by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and remove barriers to accessibility. For more information about these guidelines click here.
Some documents on this site are provided as Adobe PDFs. However PDFs are not easily accessible to all users so Adobe has developed a method of converting PDF documents into HTML (normal web pages) which is a more accessible format.
How do I convert a PDF document into HTML?
The URL (the web address) of a PDF document will appear in the web browser address bar when it is selected. Copy the URL (normally looks like this: www.websitename...) and click here.
This link will open an online form created by Adobe. Simply paste the URL into the form and the contents of the PDF will be automatically converted to HTML - an ordinary web page.
There are further features and capabilities of Adobe products that enhance electronic document accessibility for people with disabilities such as blindness, low vision, and motor impairments.

Other accessibility features
We do not use frames. We use alternative text (alt text) to describe the content of pictures. We avoid colour combinations that may make the pages less accessible to people with colour blindness.
If you come across any pages on this site which do not appear to conform to accessibility standards, please let us know.
