Mayfield and Five Ashes Parish Council is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually strive to improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards to make our website as inclusive as possible.

We take the following measures to ensure accessibility of our website, this means

you should be able to:

• 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 (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

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

Compatibility with Browsers and Assistive Technology

Our website is designed to be compatible with the following:

• The latest versions of major browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox).
• Assistive technologies, including screen readers and voice recognition software.

Older browsers and outdated assistive technologies may not provide the best experience.

The Technical Bit

Mayfield and Five Ashes 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.

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. They define three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

Our website is currently partially conformant with WCAG 2.2 Level AA. This means that most content meets the accessibility standard, though some areas may still need improvement.
