Accessibility statement for greaterbrighton.com

This website is run by the Greater Brighton board. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • 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
  • 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)
  • We’ve also tried to make the website text as simple as possible to understand, within the constraints of the subject matter.
  • AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

HOW ACCESSIBLE THIS WEBSITE IS

We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible:

  • Some text on image backgrounds may not offer suitable contrast ratio when checked.
  • Some cards eg on the latest news page, are wrapped in anchor tags, whilst not an accessibility fail, this can be frustrating for screen reader users. These will be reviewed and enhanced after launch.
