This website is run by Walmer Town 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
Walmer Town Council is committed to making
its
website accessible, 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.
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’ll make
sure our use of images meets accessibility
standards.
