Using this website
This web site is run by Woodham Walter Parish Council. We want as many people as possible to be able to access the content on this site.
This includes those with:
- impaired vision
- motor difficulties
- cognitive impairments or learning disabilities
- deafness or impaired hearing
How accessible is this website
Woodham Walter Parish is relatively small and it would be a disproportionate burden to attempt to align the site to any recognised standards. The volunteers and staff who develop and maintain the site use best endeavours to keep the content accessible.
As much as possible, the following are taken in to account:
- Navigate the site with only a keyboard (Tab, Shift-Tab and Return.)
- Use of the site by screen readers
- Using proper headings, rather than just bold text
- Creating PDF files, where the source is available, as text, not images
- Inclusion of a search function
- Pages that are compatible with web browser functionality, such as zooming in and colour changes
- Avoiding popup screens
- Designing navigation so it is clear without reference to visual elements
- Avoiding non-descriptive links, for example, ‘Click Here’ or ‘More Information.’
- Including text descriptions for non-decorative images and videos (Alt text)
What to do if you cannot access parts of this website
