Haywards Heath Town Council is committed to making its website accessible and usable for as many people as possible, including those with disabilities or additional access needs.
We aim to follow recognised best practices by meeting the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, as published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). This includes ensuring the site can be used by people with a range of needs, such as:
Using assistive technologies such as screen readers
Navigating using a keyboard only
Adjusting colours, text size or contrast
Accessing content with subtitles or transcripts where needed
To support this, we regularly review and test the site using automated accessibility checking tools and manual testing to help identify and fix any issues. We also consider readability, clear layout, and consistent page structure to improve usability for all visitors.
Where we can improve
Some older content or third-party services may not meet current standards, but we are working to improve this wherever possible.
