Active Council to Exhibit and Sponsor at YLCA Training Day – Talking Tables

We’re excited to announce that Active Council will be attending the upcoming YLCA Training Day – Talking Tables as both an exhibitor and event sponsor!

Location: Thirsk Racecourse, Chestnut Room, YO7 1QL
Date: 16 October 2025

This year’s event arrives at a pivotal moment for parish and town councils, following the introduction of Assertion 10 in the 2025 Annual Governance and Accountability Return (AGAR). This new requirement places a spotlight on digital governance and data compliance, with councils now expected to demonstrate:

  • Effective management of their digital presence
  • Full compliance with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018
  • Use of council-owned domains and professional email addresses
  • A website that meets the latest accessibility standards (WCAG 2.2 AA)

From October 2024, all public sector websites must adhere to WCAG 2.2 AA, which introduces enhanced criteria for:

  • Cognitive accessibility
  • Mobile responsiveness
  • Improved navigation and readability

At Active Council, we specialise in creating websites that are:

  • Fully compliant with WCAG 2.2 AA
  • Equipped with up-to-date accessibility statements
  • Simple for clerks to manage
  • Designed to help councils meet Assertion 10 with confidence

We also assist councils in transitioning to .gov.uk domains, boosting the credibility, security, and trustworthiness of their online presence.

Whether you're an existing client or exploring digital solutions for your council, we’d love to connect with you at the YLCA Training Day. Let’s discuss how we can support your council in staying compliant, modernising its digital presence, and making life easier for clerks and councillors alike.
