This website is run by Willington 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:
- 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 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.

Technical information about this
website’s accessibility
Willington Parish Council is committed to
making
its
website accessible, where possible, in accordance with the
Public Sector Bodies (Websites and
Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility
Regulations 2018.
This website is currently partially
compliant with the Web
Content Accessibility Guidelines version
2.1 AA standard,
due to the non- compliances listed below.
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the
following reasons.
Non-compliance with the accessibility
regulations
There may be pages with read more /
click
here links. See WCAG 2.4 Success Criterion 4.4 (Link Purpose
(In
Context)
There may be some pages where HTML
isn’t perfectly formed, such as stray
end tags. See WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.1
(Parsing).
Many of our older PDFs and Word
documents don’t meet accessibility
standards - for example, they may
not be structured so they’re
accessible to a screen reader. See WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.2
(name, role value).
Some images on the website pages may
not have a text alternative, so the information
on them isn’t
available to people using a screen reader. See WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1
(non-text content). When we publish new content,
we will try to make
sure that our use of images meets accessibility
standards.
Disproportionate
Burden
Willington Parish is very small, and the Parish Council have limited financial and technical resources. Our website supplies all the required, up to date, information in a more accessible format where possible. Our Clerk will respond to any request for information in a more accessible format within 15 working days.
We keep the community fully informed in all council matters and achievements, and encourage the participation of our community. There are a relatively low number of visits to our website and it is therefore a disproportionate burden on the council budget to ensure that our website is completely compliant.
Content that's not within the scope of
the accessibility regulations
Not applicable.
