Accessibility statement

Accessibility statement for this website

This statement applies to this demonstration website, built to show the design patterns a council or NHS-style site could use. This is a portfolio piece, not a live public service.

This website is intended to meet WCAG 2.2 AA. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this site – for example, that means you should be able to: change colours, contrast levels and fonts using your browser or device settings; zoom in up to 400% without the layout breaking; navigate most of the site using a keyboard or speech recognition software; and listen to most of the site using a screen reader.

How accessible this website is

This is a demonstration build, so some content (placeholder addresses, dummy links, and sample images) is illustrative rather than final. The navigation, forms, colour contrast and focus states have been built and checked against WCAG 2.2 AA.

Technical information

Thornmere District Council is committed to making its website accessible, in line with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
