Accessibility statements

Event accessibility

The Shire of Harpelstane is an open organisation, and has no restrictions on attendance at events or membership. However, as the sites we use are not owned by us, we cannot guarantee that they will be fully accessible. For example, a medieval castle may well have areas that are not fully accessible to everybody.

This statement applies solely to the www.harpelstane.org website, which is run by the Shire of Harpelstane. It does not apply to other sites hosted by the Shire of Harpelstane.

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

• navigate most of the website using keyboard shortcuts.

• listen to most of the website using a screen reader.

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
