Do you need some help using this website?
On the left hand side of every page is a menu which lists the section you are in and the categories within that section. These categories can be clicked on to view information.
To assist you with moving back and forth between the pages there is a "bread crumb" trail at the top of each page - this starts with 'You are in:....' so you can see the path you have followed to reach your destination and use it to revisit previous pages, (or you may prefer to use your web browser's back button or use the alt key + back arrow on your keyboard.)
The information in this website is divided up into 8 main sections:
- Democracy & Community
- Children & Families
- Culture & Tourism
- Economy & Business
- Environment & Planning
- Learning & Schools
- Social Care & Health
- Transport & Roads
There are various ways of finding information on the Devon County Council website - some of them are features with links on each page, others are general techniques which you can use on other websites. check out our finding information page for more guidance
We’ve also brought together a number of resources to help you find your way around this site in our Access Options page
