Churt Parish Council

This statement outlines our ongoing efforts to make our website accessible to everyone. It includes our commitment to ensuring equal access and opportunity for all individuals, including those with disabilities. The website is owned and run by Churt Parish Council. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

​

• Resize text without assistive technology up to 200 percent without loss of content or functionality

• 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 have also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

​
