Technical information about this website’s accessibility

BBD is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

Compliance status

Upon development of the site, due care was taken to ensure its compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, the internationally recognised standard for we accessibility.

However, we have not had an external accessibility auditor assess the site and as such cannot guarantee that we currently meet all WCAG standards.

Compliance status is therefore unknown.

We are in the process of investigating utilsiing an external accessibility auditor to clarify our status as accessibility remains important to BBD.
