Accessibility Statement

This accessibility statement applies to the website of Bramber Parish Council, i.e. www.bramber.org.uk.

We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

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

Enforcement procedure

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is responsible for enforcing the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 (the ‘accessibility regulations’).

Technical information about this website’s accessibility

Bramber 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.

Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 standard, due to the non-compliances listed below:-

Some photo gallery images do not have unique identifiers. This is due to the use of a host-supplied widget over which we have no control. There are currently no plans to replace this widget.

Contact form entry boxes do not have accessible labels; this means they are difficult to navigate using a keyboard. This is due to the use of a host-supplied widget over which we have no control. There are currently no viable alternatives available from the host and therefore there are no plans to replace this widget in the foreseeable future as we believe that doing so would be a disproportionate burden within the meaning of the accessibility regulations.

Some of our PDFs are essential to providing our services. For example, we have documents with information on how users can access our services. Some of the older PDFs do not meet accessibility standards, for example, they may not be structured so they’re accessible to a screen reader. More recent PDFs may have figures without alternate text, repeated white spaces, tables that do not have the same number of cells in each row and missing document titles. There are no plans to fix older documents but we will endeavour to comply with the regulations for ones produced in future. PDFs supplied by non-council bodies are outside our control.
