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.

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 (the ‘accessibility regulations’).

Contacting us by phone or visiting us in person
The Minicom service is a telephone typewriter device for communication for people who are deaf, hearing impaired or have a speech impediment. A Minicom is like a telephone with a small keyboard and screen. Instead of speaking, you type in what you want to say. Then, by inputting a Minicom number, your message is relayed down the telephone line and appears on the screen of the member of staff you are calling (it is held on reception).
Our Blaby District Council offices have audio induction loops, or if you contact us before your visit we can arrange a British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter or someone to translate a language other than English.
We offer braille copies of documents, bills, webpages and other resources upon request. We will also discuss with the customer when arranging to find the best solution.
Please contact us using our Contact Us page.

Content that's not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
