ACCESSIBILITY

This website is run by Mole Valley District Council. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • use browser technology to change colours, contrast levels and fonts
    zoom in without the content 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 the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

We’ve also made the website text as easy as possible to understand.

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
