Boldre Parish Council is committed to making this website as accessible as possible, to the broadest range of people, whether you have a disability or find it hard to use the internet for another reason.

Change text size and colours

 You can change the text size or choose a high contrast display option on this website. Manage your display options using the link at the top of the page.

Assistive technology can help

If you have a visual impairment, you may find assistive technology helpful, including:

• Screen enlargers or magnifiers work like a magnifying glass
• Screen readers are software programs that present images and text as speech; a screen reader will speak everything on the screen, including buttons and menus
• Speech recognition or voice recognition lets you interact with your computer using your voice instead of a mouse or keyboard
• Speech synthesisers (text-to-speech or TTS systems) receive what you type in to the keyboard and speak it out loud, so you can check what you're typing as you type
• Refreshable Braille displays provide tactile output of on-screen information; you read the Braille letters with your fingers then the next line is presented
• Braille embossers transfer computer-generated text into embossed Braille output. Braille translation programs convert text scanned in or generated
