Accessibility

This statement applies to the BANES Parent Carer Forum website.

We are committed to making this website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • change colours, contrast levels and fonts using browser or device settings
  • zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate most of the website using a keyboard or speech recognition software
  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader 

We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

This website is designed to be compatible with the following technologies:

  • Mobile phones
  • PC and MAC computers
  • Tablet devices
  • All known internet browsers
  • Screen readers

The My Computer My Way guide from AbilityNet is a step-by-step guide to help you make your device easier to use if you have a disability.

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2, due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below. 

Some parts of this website may not be fully accessible, for example:

  • PDF documents may not be fully accessible to screen reader software
  • Some images may not have a text alternative, so people using a screen reader cannot access the information
  • Third-party services or plugins may not meet the same accessibility standards
  • Some controls on pages – this may include links, buttons, and fields – do not show when they have been selected by the keyboard

To support accessibility, we:

  • Regularly review and update our content for clarity and usability
  • Aim to use clear, simple language wherever possible
  • Make documents available in accessible formats where practical
  • Test new content and changes for accessibility before publishing

If you need information on this website in a different format like accessible PDF, large print, easy read, audio recording or braille email:
