Website accessibility

This website is run by the Future Parks Accelerator Programme. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. We follow the international guidelines for accessibility by following WCAG 2.1 Guidelines Level AA where possible. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • Navigate most of the website using just a keyboard

  • Skip repeated navigation blocks when using assistive technologies

  • Text size can be changed using the web browser (using the text size setting generally found in the Zoom or View menu or you can use CTRL+ or CTRL- to change the size)

  • Links open in the same window unless stated otherwise

  • Images have alternative text

  • Audio and video has been set not to play automatically

  • 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.

    Browser compatibility  

  • The site has been cross-platform and cross-browser tested and is currently compatible with modern browsers, such as Google Chrome and Internet Explorer 11. It will also work well on most modern tablets and smartphones.

  • Please note: You may experience issues with older versions of these browsers or other web browsers. If you experience any issues, please feel free to contact us.
