Compliance status
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is not fully accessible for the following reasons:
- Some older PDF and Word documents are not fully accessible to screen reader software.
- It is not currently possible to modify text spacing through website controls.
- The website does not currently include a “skip to main content” link.
Many older PDF and Word documents were published before 23 September 2018 and are exempt from the accessibility regulations unless they are essential to providing a service.
Where a document is essential and you require it in an accessible format, please contact us and we will provide it where possible.
Disproportionate burden
Whiteparish Parish Council is a small public body. We aim to comply with the accessibility regulations; however, in some cases fully remediating historic documents may represent a disproportionate burden due to the time and resources required. We will prioritise accessibility improvements for essential documents and newly published content.
