The Environment Agency (EA) uses existing Government websites to publish permit consultations, posting a notification on GOV.UK that points to a consultation on the EA’s Citizen Space website. The EA ensures its consultation information meets the accessibility requirements for these websites. The accessibility statement for the website is available here. This sets out what steps have been taken to make the website as accessible as possible, including for people who rely on assistive technology. The accessibility statement for GOV.UK is found here .
