Website Accessibility
Accessibility
Accessibility : If you have difficulty in accessing any of the documents, can't read the print, or need further assistance, please contact contact: Sight Support West Cumbria, or email info@sight-support.org.uk
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 400% without the text spilling off the screen.
Navigate most of the website using just a keyboard or Touchpad.
Listen to most of the website using a screen reader
Use read aloud to read documents on the website.
Use screen readers to explain what alternative description a meaningful image holds.
Read all text which has good levels of contrast between text and background colours. We’ve tried to create a site which doesn’t get in the way when you change these settings.
How we run this site
The website is mobile and tablet friendly
We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand. We try to write in plain English and avoid council jargon, if something doesn't make sense, please let us know.
Headings and page structure - our site uses simple heading structures to make it easier to navigate.
For more information on how to do the above please go to https://mcmw.abilitynet.org.uk/
