Links to external sites

West Oxfordshire District Council's website 'www.westoxon.gov.uk' includes links to other websites to help you find other relevant information quickly and easily.

A link to an external website from this website is not an endorsement or approval of that website, or its products and services. We do not accept liability for action you may take as a result of relying on information or advice obtained from such sites.

External links on our website are reviewed regularly. But if you find a broken link or a link directing you to website material you feel is unsuitable, please contact the Communications Team.

We do not enter into reciprocal link agreements. We will try to respond to link requests but, due to the number that we receive, we cannot guarantee this, especially where the requested link does not satisfy the criteria below. In relation to requests for links, the Council's decision will be final.

Criteria we consider when linking to a site:

Is the site:

Relevant to specific content on this site or to the Council as a whole.
Following current usability guidance.
Up to date, authoritative and free from 'under construction' messages.
Free from offensive material, political or religious bias.
Free to access.
A government organisation, public organisation, charity or other publicly known and trusted organisation.
Transparent with respect to its ownership, funding and purposes.
Non-commercial (unless supporting the Council to meet its aims and priorities i.e. sponsorship).

Links made to www.westoxon.gov.uk should not infer any endorsement or partnership by us of your site, its services or its products.
You must not present false information about West Oxfordshire District Council.
You must ensure that your website does not include content which would be construed as distasteful, controversial or offensive.
