Accessibility

This website is managed by Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council.

We’re working hard to make sure our website is as accessible as possible, however we're not responsible for the accessibility of any third party applications used on our website.

You may need to customise your experience to suit your individual needs. We have some features to help you get the most from your experience:

BrowseAloud

BrowseAloud provides speech, reading and translation support for our website. 

To start using it, please click on the BrowseAloud icon at the top right of the page .

Alternative text

We try to make sure that all images on this site have brief alternative text which, where appropriate, identifies an image or its function. This alternative text (alt-text) is generally only visible when the browser's automatic image loading feature is turned off, or when you rollover an image with your mouse.

Links

All text links are written so that they make sense when read out of context. 

Downloading documents

There are a number of Adobe PDF (Portable Document Format) and Microsoft Word documents on the website. We try to tag as many of our PDFs as possible, subject to resources, for basic accessibility. This allows them to be read by speech browsers. We also try to provide an alternative text-only Word document version of a PDF. If you are having trouble opening these files you may need additional software:

For Adobe PDFs, download the latest Adobe Reader software (opens in a new window)

For more information about PDF accessibility, please visit the Adobe PDF accessibility section

For Microsoft Word documents, download the latest Word Viewer software (opens in a new window)
