Bishop Middleham Parish Council is committed to ensuring our website is accessible and
easy for everyone to use. We want all residents \u2014 including people with disabilities, older

\u2022 zoom in up to 300% without loss of content
\u2022 change colours, contrast levels and fonts
\u2022 access clear, structured information<\/p>\n
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA standard.<\/p>\n

Important note<\/p>\n
While this accessibility interface provides helpful adjustments, it does not replace the
need for manual accessibility work.
We continue to review and improve the website to ensure compliance with WCAG 2.2 AA.<\/p>\n
Following recent improvements, most of the website is now fully accessible.\u00a0 Improvements completed:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Correct and consistent H1, H2 and H3 heading structure across key pages
\u2022 Improved readability and layout
\u2022 Clear, descriptive link text
\u2022 No colour contrast issues
\u2022 No keyboard traps

\u2022 Images include appropriate alternative text
\u2022 Pages written in plain English
\u2022 Accessibility interface available site-wide

Remaining accessibility issues
Some parts of the website are not fully accessible yet:<\/p>\n
Some older PDFs are not fully accessible. Issues may include:<\/p>\n
\u2022 untagged PDFs
\u2022 scanned documents that are not searchable
\u2022 missing headings
\u2022 tables without markup<\/p>\n
These documents are required for transparency under local government legislation, but we are working to improve them.<\/p>\n

It includes:<\/p>\n
\u2022 properly coded, visible programmatic labels
\u2022 clear instructions

WCAG requirements.<\/p>\n
We will continue to review the form to ensure it remains fully accessible.<\/p>\n
Some embedded content (e.g., maps, external documents) is outside our control\u00a0 and may not fully meet accessibility standards.<\/p>\n
What we\u2019re doing to improve accessibility
We are actively:<\/p>\n
\u2022 updating PDFs to ensure they are tagged, searchable and accessible

\u2022 checking new content for accessibility before publication
\u2022 carrying out regular accessibility checks using WAVE and other tools
\u2022 ensuring all images include meaningful alt text
