Accessibility statement for the Great Bealings Parish Council web site

This website is run by Great Bealings 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:

• Read the text without difficulty
  • All the text is black on white and so provides high contrast for readability
• Zoom in without the text spilling off the screen
  • Use your browser's zoom function to get larger text
• Navigate the website using just a keyboard
  • The 'Tab' key will move between links to other pages, and the 'Enter' key will take you to the highlighted content
• Navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
  • All links are textual so speech recognition software will be able to find them
• listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)
  • All the information on the site (except PDF files) is in text form

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.
