Accessibility

This accessibility statement applies to the Camborne Town Council website.

This website is run by Camborne Town 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 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, including recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver

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

This website includes the Recite Me assistive toolbar, which provides additional accessibility features to support a wide range of user needs.

The toolbar allows users to customise the website display to meet their individual accessibility requirements.

Features include:

  • text-to-speech functionality
  • translation into multiple languages
  • reading aids such as screen masking and reading rulers
  • font and text styling adjustments
  • colour contrast and background adjustments
