This accessibility statement applies to www.southswindon-pc.gov.uk. This website is run by Central Swindon South Parish Council. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. Users of the website should be able to use the below functions to improve accessibility:
Change colours, contrast levels and fonts
Zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
Navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
To assist with the accessibility of the Parish Council's website, the Parish Council has installed the UserWay Accessibility Widget. Located at right of the website, this widget offers a broad selection of functions that users can mix and match to meet their individual accessibility needs. The functions include, but are not limited, to:
Keyboard Navigation: Navigate most of the website using just a keyboard.
Contrast: Change contrast levels. Choose from the following: normal contrast, invert colours, dark contrast, light contrast and desaturate.
Highlight Links
Bigger Text: Choose from four increasing font sizes without the text spilling off the screen.
Text Spacing: Modify line spacing for improved readability for dyslexic and visually impaired users.
Pause Animations
Dyslexia Friendly: converts to more accessible fonts and layout for dyslexic users of the website.
Reading Guide: Converts the cursor into a high contrast horizontal reading guide. Focuses and guides the eyes to reduce eye strain for users who are visually impaired, dyslexic and users with Presbyopia.
Tooltips: Shows alternative text and aria labels for on-screen elements with a simple mouse hover. Tooltips are prominent, high contrast and easy to read for low vision users with accessibility needs.
The Parish Council is always looking to improve the accessibility of this website. If a resident finds any problems not listed in this statement or think the Parish Council is not meeting accessibility requirements, contact:
