Accessibility Statement
Buckingham Park Parish Council
Last updated: 19 October 2026
Our commitment to accessibility
Buckingham Park Parish Council is committed to making its website accessible to as many people as possible, including people with disabilities.
We want residents and visitors to be able to access information about the Parish Council, read meeting agendas and minutes, find out about community activities and contact us without unnecessary barriers.
We aim to make our website easy to navigate and understand, and to support people who use assistive technologies.
Compliance status
Complete this section after assessing the website.
Choose the statement that accurately reflects the results of an accessibility assessment against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA standard:
- Fully compliant, if the website meets all applicable requirements.
- Partially compliant, if it meets most requirements but has identified accessibility issues or applicable exemptions.
- Not compliant, if it does not meet most of the applicable requirements.
Any known accessibility problems and applicable exemptions should be described in the section below.
Non-accessible content
We are working to make our website as accessible as possible. However, some content or features may not yet be fully accessible.
The following areas should be checked as part of our accessibility assessment:
Documents: some PDF files, meeting papers, agendas, minutes or other documents may not be fully accessible to screen-reader users.
Images: some images may not have appropriate alternative text describing their content.
Navigation and links: some elements may not have sufficiently clear labels or may present difficulties for people navigating by keyboard or using assistive technology.
Colour and contrast: some text, buttons or other elements may not have sufficient contrast to be easy to read.
Third-party features: embedded content, widgets or services supplied by other organisations may not be fully accessible.
This list identifies potential issues to investigate and does not confirm that each issue is present on the website. Once an assessment has been completed, this section will be updated to describe the actual problems found, their impact and any planned remedial action.
Where content cannot immediately be made accessible, we will consider reasonable alternatives and provide assistance where possible.
