Accessibility statement for Coddington Parish Council website
This accessibility statement applies to the website for Coddington Parish Council at https://village.coddington.org.uk/. There are other websites using the coddington.org.uk main and sub-domains used by other groups in the village of Coddington, but these are managed separately to the Parish Council’s website and do not have access to the website used by the Parish Council.
This website is run by Coddington Parish Council. 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 and contrast levels using browser or device settings
- zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
- navigate most of the website using a keyboard or speech recognition software
- listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)
