Great Wakering Parish Council is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
Many of our older PDFs and Word documents do not meet accessibility standards – for example, they may not be structured so they’re accessible to a screen reader. This does not meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.2 (name, role value).
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.
Changing the Text Size and Display
The text on this website is displayed in a clear easy-to-read font. However some users may want to increase the size at which the text is displayed. This can be done really easily by clicking on the 'Change text size' icon on the top right of the screen. Simply click on the 'up arrow' to make the text bigger, the 'down arrow' to make it smaller and the 'A' to reset it back to the default size.
Many browsers also allow you to change the text size and display of the pages further - it depends which browser you are using. 'My Web My Way( opens in a new tab)' from the BBC explains the many ways you can customise your experience whatever system you are using, including changing the browser, computer, keyboard and mouse settings.
