Accessibility

This accessibility statement applies to https://cheshammoor.co.uk

We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website, and find it useful.

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

The guidelines have three levels of accessibility (A, AA and AAA).

Level AA is chosen the target for this website.
We will continue to assess the design of the website, and may make amendments in the future.
There may be areas where text is difficult to read over an image, or adjacent blocks of colour may be difficult for certain levels of colour blindness.

Accessibility on desktops or laptops can be helped by using the accessibility tool, as denoted by the ‘+’ symbol, in the top right of the website screen.

With this tool, you can access these settings:

  • Font resize
  • Keyboard navigation
  • Change font
  • Contrast and colour variations

  • Clear cookies

On mobile you can use the screen reader function on most mobile phones. It my not work on the home page (tested 5 March). We will review this.
