Accessibility statement

Our commitment

We want everyone to be able to find parish information and use this website with confidence. We aim to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA and treat accessibility as continuing work rather than a one-off claim.

What you should be able to do

You should be able to:

• Zoom and reflow: enlarge text and zoom the page without losing essential content or controls.
• Use a keyboard: reach and operate navigation, dialogs, buttons and links without a mouse.
• Use assistive technology: navigate meaningful headings, landmarks, labels, lists and image alternatives with a screen reader.
• Read key information online: use HTML versions of current newsletter content as an alternative to the printable PDF.
• Reduce motion: use your device’s reduced-motion preference where the site includes movement.

Known limitations

We know some material may need additional attention:

• PDF newsletters: PDF documents may be harder to navigate than the matching web page, particularly in some older readers.
• Third-party services: external maps, school websites and livestream services are operated by other providers and may not meet the same standard.
• Historic material: older or externally supplied photographs and documents may have limited descriptions or structure.

Ask for another format

If you need information in large print, an accessible electronic format, audio, easy read or another format, email parish.ourladyofwalsingham@northamptondiocese.org or telephone 01536 203121. Tell us what information you need and what format works for you.

Report a problem

Email parish.ourladyofwalsingham@northamptondiocese.org with the page address, a description of the problem, the browser or assistive technology you were using, and a safe way to contact you. We will consider the problem and, where possible, provide the information another way while a fix is arranged.

How we check the website

We use automated checks, keyboard testing, responsive-layout testing and manual review of representative pages. Automated results cannot prove that every page works for every person or assistive technology, so reports from visitors are important.
