Non-accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

•  Some images may not have a text alternative especially homepage banners, so people using a screen reader cannot access the information.
• Some links may not be based on descriptive text beyond Click Here. These will be updated when found.
• Some PDF and Microsoft Word documents may not yet meet accessibility standards.
• Some links and news headings might come across as Redundant Title Text.

Disproportionate burden

Whilst every effort has been made to make the whole site accessible to all users there are some areas where the cost to parishioners of rectification would be disproportionate to the value gained.
