Accessibility
West Sussex County Council is committed to making this website
accessible to everyone. We have developed our website following web
standards and accessibility guidelines, and aim to meet and where
possible exceed level AA of the W3C’s Web Content Accessibility
Guidelines.
Text size
The text size on this site is set in a way that makes it
resizable in any browser, should you find it too small to read
comfortably. If you need help changing the size of the text in your
browser, please visit the BBC’s
My Web My Way website, where you will find clear, practical
advice.
Headings
Headings are used on each page on the website. They make it
easier to read pages by providing visual structure and help people
using screen readers and other assistive technologies to navigate
the site.
Links
Whenever possible, links have been written to make sense when
they are accessed out of the original context. This helps visitors
who may use a list of links to move around the site, and all
visitors to understand the destination of links.
Content
The content of the site has been written to be readable by as
many people as possible. We have tried to use plain language that
is jargon-free and easily understandable.
My Web My Way
If you need help in making the web easier to use, including the
West Sussex County Council website, we recommend the BBC’s
My Web My Way as a starting point. It provides jargon-free
information on how you can change your web browser, computer,
keyboard and mouse settings to make the web more accessible for
you.
