Disproportionate burden assessment for the housing and homelessness summaries

Scope

The documents provide key information about the housing and homelessness situation in Colchester and the council's work to support and address this (housing is a statutory function at the council so we need to provide robust and up to date evidence of our work).

Benefits of creating an accessible version

The benefits of creating a HTML version of these PDFs would be:

• A fully accessible version for all users to access
• An easily searchable and indexable version

Burden placed on the organisation

The documents contain tables, diagrams and graphics that we have estimated would take a disproportionate amount of a content designer's time to turn into a HTML. 

Contributing factors

Other factors relevant to this decision are:

• We would anticipate interest in these documents is limited.

Assessment

The time and difficulty it would take to turn these into a web page, and the lack of interest from the public, represents a disproportionate burden. We will continue to assist with accessible versions on request.
