Accessibility statement for Suffolk Schools Recycles
This website is run by Suffolk Waste Partnership. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:
- change colours, contrast levels and fonts
- navigate most of the website using just a keyboard

- 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 simple as possible to understand.
AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

Technology
Result: Fail due to:
-
Users of the website not being able to use one finger to zoom
-
Aspects of the website getting stuck when using keyboard (e.g. scrolling banner and Twitter feed)
-
Not enough colour contrast between green text & hyperlinks again blue background
-
Scrolling banner unable to be disabled
Fixed: Sept 2020
Exceptions due to disproportionate cost:
- All webpages do not present well with stylesheets disabled - due to generally light website traffic and content not specifically for users with disabilities, fixing this would mean a fundermental change to the website which would cost a lot of money to achieve.
- Website cannot zoom with one finger - due to the same reasons as above we are claiming this would be a disproportionate cost to us. Developer did suggest however that for android phones there are accessibility settings that allow you to set up triple-tap one finger zoom, which would then mean you could use this on our website.
