Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council, GB website accessibility
Wigan Council is seeking compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) AA standard. The Council keeps its website text simple and allows users to change colours, contrast levels, and fonts for improved readability. Users can zoom in up to 300% without text spilling off the screen and navigate the website with speech recognition software, a screen reader, or just a keyboard. The Council is working to improve its website accessibility by reviewing its third party applications.

Accessibility statement
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 covers a wide range of recommendations for making Web content more accessible. Following these guidelines will make content more accessible to a wider range of people with disabilities, including accommodations for blindness and low vision, deafness and hearing loss, limited movement, speech disabilities, photosensitivity, and combinations of these, and some accommodation for learning disabilities and cognitive limitations; but will not address every user need for people with these disabilities. These guidelines address accessibility of web content on desktops, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices. Following these guidelines will also often make Web content more usable to users in general.
