This accessibility statement applies to all webpages under the domain i-network.org.uk.

This website is run by iNetwork who are hosted by Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council (TMBC). 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
• 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)

The addition of the Accessibility Toolbar in the top left corner of each page will help to remove the every day barriers that many disabled people experience.

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.
