WEBSITE ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

We want everyone who uses our website to be able to find, read and understand our content, so we work to achieve and maintain the AA standards of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1.

 

View the site your way

You can change the colours, contrast levels, font styles and magnify the page up to 150% without the text spilling off the screen.

 

Navigate by headings

Use browser plugins or assistive technology such as screen readers to list the headings and subheadings in the page and go straight to the heading you need.

 

Navigate by links

Users of assistive technology, such as screen readers, can get a list of all the links on a page and understand their purpose from the link text.

 

Navigate by keyboard

Users who navigate by keyboard can see the interactive element currently focused on, such as links and form fields, through a highlighted outline.

 

Skip to content

Use a keyboard to find the skip links and jump directly to the main content on the page.

 

Listening to content

Use text to speech browser plugins or assistive technology to listen to content you select with the mouse or keyboard. Screen reader users can listen to content, navigate the site and interact with menus.

 

Using different devices

To make the best use of our website with a range of devices, use the My Computer My Way's guide to using assistive technologies.

Technical information about this website’s accessibility and non-accessible content

We are committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

 

Non-compliance with the Accessibility Regulations

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below:

 

  • the text will not reflow in a single column when you change the size of the browser window

  • you cannot modify the line height or spacing of text

  • some older PDF documents are not fully accessible to screen reader software

 

Disproportionate burden

The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing our services. Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will aim to meet accessibility standards.

We’re always looking to improve the accessibility of this website. If you find any problems not listed on this page or think we’re not meeting accessibility requirements, or if you’d like to request information in a different format, please contact the parish clerk.
