Accessibility statement for stivestowncouncil-cornwall.gov.uk

Using this website

This website is run by St Ives Town Council

We aim to make our website as accessible and easy for people to use as possible.

For example, we hope you can:

  • change colours, contrast levels and fonts
  • zoom in without the text spilling off the screen
  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of Chrome, NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver)
  • navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
  • navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
  • Find most of the website text easy to understand.

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

How accessible?

We know we can do better: 

some parts of this website are not fully accessible:

  • older PDF, Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents may not be fully accessible to screen reader software
  • Our document archive browser uses Javascript and can be difficult to navigate using just a keyboard and screen reader software – you can use the archive search function instead to find what you are looking for
  • some of our online forms can be harder to navigate using just a keyboard and screen reader software – you can contact us using the details on the Contact Us page to ask for alternative formats

What to do if you can’t access parts of this website

If you need information on this website in a different format – like accessible PDF, large print, easy read, audio recording or braille – please contact our enquiries@stives-tc.gov.uk

We will consider your request and aim to reply within 20 working days.

Technical information about this website’s accessibility

Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to

  • accessibility problems throughout the site
  • However, we will be making changes as we find problems
  • Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations

PDFs and other documents

Some of our PDFs and Word documents are essential to providing and explaining our services. For example, some of the reports are supplied to us as PDF’s and we add them to our archive without any additional work.

The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing our services.

Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.

What we’re doing to improve accessibility

We have also installed an accessibility reader which will allow you to tailor the website display to your specific needs.

Preparation of this accessibility statement

This statement was prepared on 25 October 2021. And is subject to change at any time.
