Accessibility Statement

West Winch Parish Council is committed to making our website accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities.

Measures to support accessibility
We strive to ensure that our website meets good accessibility practices, including:

• Using clear and simple language.
   
• Ensuring the website is navigable by keyboard and using assistive technologies.
   
• Providing text alternatives for non-text content (e.g., images).
   
• Structuring content so it is logically organised (headings, lists, etc).
   
• Ensuring sufficient colour contrast and readable fonts.
   
• Ensuring that links are meaningful and descriptive.
   

Conformance status
While we aim to comply with the UK accessibility standard (WCAG 2.1 AA level or comparable), we acknowledge that the website may not yet fully meet all requirements. We continue to review and improve the site.

Known accessibility issues
If you encounter any accessibility issues—for example:

• Some older documents (PDFs) may not be fully accessible.
   
• Some interactive content may not work correctly with all assistive technologies.
  We are working to address these issues and will update the site over time.
