This accessibility statement applies to the Crigglestone Parish Council website (https://www.crigglestone-pc.gov.uk/).

This website is run by Crigglestone 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:

  • Navigate most of the website using speech recognition software.
  • Listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of NVDA and JAWS).

We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

Compliance status

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

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

  • Some images on our gallery or news pages may not have text alternatives (alt text), meaning people using screen readers cannot access the visual information. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1 (Non-text Content). We aim to add alternative text as we update our web content.
  • Some of our older documents, forms, or scanned meeting minutes might not be structured correctly for screen readers.

Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations

  • PDFs and other documents: 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 meet accessibility standards.
