Accessibility Statement

The London Development Agency (LDA) is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience regardless of ability or browsing technology, including those who have visual, hearing, motor and cognitive impairments.

We are actively working to improve the accessibility and usability of our website. We are aiming to achieve overall compliance with the World Wide Web Consortium's Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) guidelines. Conformance to these guidelines helps to make the Web more accessible to users with disabilities and benefits all users. There are some pages on our website that do not yet conform to these guidelines.

Downloadable documents on the LDA website

A large number of documents are available for download from this website. Wherever possible, these documents are made available in Portable Document Format (PDF) and Rich Text Format (RTF), with spreadsheet data extracted into comma-separated values (CSV) files.

PDF files may be viewed using the Adobe Acrobat Reader. This software is available free of charge from the Adobe website. Adobe resources for accessibility are also available.

RTF files can be read by most word processor software. RTF files may not retain the formatting and layout of the original document and normally do not include graphics. RTF files may be larger than PDF files and therefore slower to download.

CSV files can be imported into most spreadsheet software programs.

Currently, there are on our website downloadable files in proprietary formats which may not be accessible.

Translations

Summaries of key documents can be produced on request in the following languages: Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, Greek, Gujarati, Hindi, Punjabi, Turkish, Urdu, and Vietnamese.

Requests for translations into other languages will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

If you have any problems accessing any information on our website, please contact us, and we will endeavour to fix the problem or provide the information in an appropriate format.
