Accessibility

What you can do

• Zoom in up to 400% without text going off the screen.
• Use the whole site with a keyboard, including the search, filters and event details.
• Use it with a screen reader, such as VoiceOver on an iPhone or NVDA on Windows.
• Search by postcode or town and read events as a list, without using the map.
• Print a list of the events near you.

How we check it

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. Every change to the site is tested automatically on phone and desktop sizes, including an accessibility scan of every main page. We also check by hand with a keyboard, with screen sizes from small phones to desktops, and for colour contrast.

What isn't perfect yet

• The map is harder to use with a screen reader or a keyboard alone. Everything on the map is also in the list, which is what the site shows first, and on the all events page.
• Event descriptions are written by the people running them, so some may be less clear than we'd like. Our team reads every one before it goes on the site.

Tell us about a problem

If something doesn't work for you, or you need information in a different way, call 07566 244788. We'll help you find an event over the phone, and fix the problem.

If you're not happy with how we respond, you can contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service.
