Cumbria Police Authority is committed to ensuring our services are as accessible as possible to the whole of the community that we serve. In particular, we recognise the need to take reasonable steps to enable access to our website for those with impaired sight or other disabilities.

Work on making this site accessible has been influenced by the Guidelines for UK Government Websites, which incorporate support for the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI).

Where possible, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are used to separate visual formatting from structural markup. All pages created should render in some usable form on a wide range of browsers and, if necessary, should be viewable in a very basic form on browsers which do not recognise CSS or where CSS has been switched off.

The site is valid as XHTML 1.0 and will work with all standards compliant browser.

We use the Bobby software tool from the Centre for Applied Special Technology to evaluate and improve our webpages.

This web site is bobby compliant to bobby ‘AA’ standard.
