Our approach to accessibility
This accessibility statement applies to bishopstachrbook.com.
This website is run by the Bishop’s Tachbrook 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:
- zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
- 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
We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.
AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard. Through the continuous design and development of the website we endeavour to:

- make it easier for users to see and hear content including separating foreground from background
- make all functionality available from a keyboard
- provide users enough time to read and use content
- avoid designing content in a way that is known to cause seizures or physical reactions
- provide ways to help users navigate, find content, and determine where they are
- make it easier for users to operate functionality through various inputs beyond keyboard
- make text content readable and understandable
- make Web pages appear and operate in predictable ways
- melp users avoid and correct mistakes
- maximize compatibility with current and future user agents, including assistive technologies
