Mark Tomkins<p>Web accessibility can be tricky to get to grips with when starting out so I have put this easy to follow, non-techie guide with tips for our Parish and Town Council Clerks and other folks that need to ensure their website and its content is accessible, inclusive and compliant.</p><p>It covers the key principles and is a 10 minute read.
