Accessibility statement

This accessibility statement applies to www.biltonparishcouncil.org.

Bilton Parish Council is committed to making this website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

Using this website

  • Navigate most of the website using a keyboard.
  • Zoom in up to 400% without the text becoming unreadable on supported pages.
  • Use browser and assistive-technology settings to change colours, contrast levels and fonts.
  • Use a screen reader to access most website content.

Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard because of the non-compliances listed below.

Non-accessible content

Navigation and links

Some expanded navigation structures contain links without a meaningful accessible name, and some parent menu items use placeholder links. This may make navigation confusing for keyboard and screen-reader users. This does not meet WCAG 2.2 success criteria 2.1.1 (Keyboard), 2.4.4 (Link Purpose) and 4.1.2 (Name, Role, Value).

Documents

Some PDF and OpenDocument files may not be fully structured for screen readers. They may lack document headings, tags, a logical reading order or meaningful link text. This may not meet WCAG 2.2 success criteria 1.3.1 (Info and Relationships), 1.3.2 (Meaningful Sequence) and 2.4.2 (Page Titled).

Visual presentation and focus

We are reviewing colour contrast, visible keyboard focus and reflow across all templates and interactive components. Individual components may not yet meet WCAG 2.2 success criteria 1.4.3 (Contrast Minimum), 1.4.10 (Reflow), 2.4.7 (Focus Visible) and 2.4.11 (Focus Not Obscured Minimum).

What we are doing to improve accessibility

We are correcting site-wide navigation and theme issues, reviewing page structure and forms, and assessing downloadable documents. We aim to address the highest-impact website issues by 31 December 2026. Documents will be prioritised according to current public need and legal requirements.

Feedback and contact information

If you find an accessibility problem that is not listed on this page, or need information in a different format such as an accessible PDF, large print, easy read, audio recording or braille, contact the Parish Clerk:

Enforcement procedure

The Equality and Human Rights Commission is responsible for enforcing the accessibility regulations. If you are not happy with how we respond to your complaint, contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service at www.equalityadvisoryservice.com.

Preparation of this statement
