Accessibility

This website is managed by our forest team and Newcastle City Council on behalf of the North East Community Forest partnership.

We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • change colours, contrast levels and fonts using third-party software
  • zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
  • navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
  • 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.

If you need information on this website in a different format such as an accessible PDF, large print, easy read, audio recording or braille please contact us.
