This accessibility statement applies to https://drs.wlma.org.uk/.
This website is run by the Water Management Alliance. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:
• change colours, contrast levels and fonts
• 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 (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)
We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.
AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible:
• some older PDF documents are not fully accessible to screen reader software
• scanned PDF documents do not comply with the Regulations, but these documents can be provided in an alternative format/media
• live video streams do not have captions
• some of our online forms are difficult to navigate using just a keyboard
What to do if you can’t access parts of this website:
We can provide information on this website in a different format. For example: a paper copy of any document, an accessible PDF or large print. Please contact us (see contact information below) to arrange this.
We’ll look at your request and aim to get back to you within 5 working days. However, depending on the format you require, this may take longer.

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’re not happy with how we respond to your complaint, contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS).
The Water Management Alliance is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
This website is fully compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard.
We’ve assessed the cost of fixing any issues with navigation and accessing information, and with interactive tools and transactions. We believe that doing so now would be a disproportionate burden within the meaning of the accessibility regulations.
The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing our services.
Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.
We do not plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.
