Technical information about this website’s accessibility

This website is compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines Version 2.1 AA Standard.

Not within the scope of the accessibility regulations

Many of the older PDF documents found on the website may not meet accessibility standards – for example, they may not be structured so they are accessible to a screen reader. The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23rd  September 2018 if they are not essential to providing Parish Council services.  Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.

Our website is a mixture of statutory Parish Council documentation with the addition of useful community information and Sports & Recreation Association information. Any content not considered to be of a statutory nature may not be fully accessible and is outside of the scope of the WCGA Guidelines.
