This website is run by Capel Parish Council. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website.

For example, that means you should be able to:

  • change colours, contrast levels and fonts
  • zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
  • navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader

We have also tried to make the website text as simple as possible to understand.

This website aims to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 AA standard.

 

Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.

 

Non-accessible content

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

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

Disproportionate burden

Capel Parish Council has assessed the cost of fixing issues with older documents and some third-party systems and believes that doing so at this time would be a disproportionate burden.
