Calendar of events - You said, we did
Would you like to tell us anything about the visual design?
| You said | We did |
|---|---|
| Clear visually - not overly cluttered. Right amount of information. Easy to see what you need to do on the page eg the tick boxes down the side. | N/A |
| Colourful and user friendly for myself. Might also need an accessible version for people with visual impairments or colour blindness though? | The colour contrasts are tested and meet accessibility requirements. However, when you hover over an event the colours change, and this contrast did not meet standards – we have change this. We are also actively looking for people with a range of access needs to take part in our consultation. |
| Entries on calendar very narrow...bit squashed! | This is on mobile view. We have expanded it as much as we can. You can change to day view or view content as a list. We will add a link to the list view from the calendar and vice versa. |
| I like the colours on the page. They were a good choice links well with the black text. Easy to understand. | N/A |
| I love the colour contrast as it makes it easy to read | N/A |
| It is very clear what is on on which day making activities difficult to miss. I really dislike the American way of listing the dates when looking at a whole week, it will be easier to understand if it is date/month | Change to DD/MM |
| Its great though it could be seperated out more by colour than just orange | Further consultation required |
| Love it | N/A |
| Quite bright, a lot to take in | You can use the Listen and translate function to change the colours on the site. In this example I’ve chosen monochrome but there are other options. Colour will be something that we continue to consult on and come back to. |
| The Key is colour coded for ages but the calendar is not. Easy to read and set out well | Further consultation required. |
| the layout is clear and allows an easy set up to find activities on a chosen date and in time order. being able to filter by ages is also really useful. this is a good design | N/A |
| Very clear and informative | N/A |
| Bright and attractive | N/A |
| It’s user friendly and looks great. Loved the use of colours | N/A |
| Love the colours very appealing. | N/A |
| It’s so easy to read and a really well thought out | N/A |
Would you like to tell us anything about the content?
| You said | We did |
|---|---|
| Dates is currently presented as American English format which can be confusing for some people. | Change to DD/MM |
| I like the selection function enabling me to narrow down the options according to categories. Really helpful. | N/A |
| It feels much more clearer and simple with the right amount of information, not too much not too less. | N/A |
| It's clear what event is on, when and where | N/A |
| N/A to me but good to see what is on in the area if I needed groups | N/A |
| Relevant, useful, the criteria check list works well to filter the calendar. Wondering if the activities will be colour coded to match the tick box? | Further consultation required. |
| the filtering of sessions makes this quick and easy to use | N/A |
| This is what I have been looking for! I have been trying to find information for activities for my child, this will be so helpful, | N/A |
| Useful information needs to be a little clearer for families. | We’ve added key word search which might help here. We’ll add a description to the top of the calendar. We’ve also added share this calendar. |
| More filters | We’ve added key word search which might help here. Well re-consult on filters towards the end of the consultation process. |
| Very good | N/A |
| So detailed and really easy read | N/A |
Would you like to tell us anything about the clarity of the content?
| You said | We did |
|---|---|
| Click on to find out more information that you need. | N/A |
| Could you put a sentence to say to user click on box for more information e.g. location, cost, etc | Yes, we will look at this. |
| Great | N/A |
| I do find it clearer and everything seems to be in better spaces and groups without it being overwhelming. | N/A |
| I like how parents and young people could see the activities available on each day very clearly in this format | N/A |
| it is very clear what is on when and it provides link with address wich is useful | N/A |
| really easy to navigate | N/A |
| Seems clear. Who will be responsible for checking and correcting details if information is inaccurate? | We have a project team working on the SEND Local Offer, this is confirmed till March 2027. We have an inclusion and exclusion criteria for content to limit the number of activities listed. We are also working on a more streamlined approach to updates, which will limit admin time. We have a last updated feature on every page to give users an idea of when that page was last looked at. |
| The information was very useful. Which was shown on the website it stated what time and event on and where it was too. These were listed in the calendar on each day (Monday - Sunday).- | N/A |
| to be able to filter by age group makes it very user friendly | N/A |
| Even on your phone it’s not too small and you can zoom in | N/A |
| More than enough. | N/A |
| Use of colours | N/A |
Tell us what you think of the filters
| You said | We did |
|---|---|
| Filter worked and showed things close to home. | N/A |
| Great | N/A |
| I like that you have the SEND offer but I wonder would it be possible to break to down even further, perhaps Neurodivergence etc.. | Further consultation will be needed when need or difference pages are created. We intend to have pages that are need specific. These will have links to events and organisations that support with that need or difference. |
| Initially every time I clicked on a filter the cookie box appeared but eventually this stopped. I don't know why this happened | In the bottom left of the screen there is a button to open and close the cookies box. I think when you have been clicking the filters, you are catching this button by mistake. We have raised this with the development team. |
| Love them! Really helpful feature. | N/A |
| Much more clearer and noticeable | N/A |
| Really easy to use | N/A |
| The filters were really well designed. As there was lots of information on the calendar page, having the filters really helped. It allowed you to look for a specific thing you wanted and cleared out the rest of the information. | N/A |
