Advice for parish clerks
Plain-English guidance for parish clerks
Running a council website should not need a technical background. Our guides explain the practical side of parish council websites, written for busy clerks and councillors.
If there is a topic you would like a guide on, let us know.
Our guides cover the subjects clerks ask us about most: what a council website must publish, understanding WCAG 2.2, planning a move to a new website, and the AGAR requirements including Assertion 10. Each one is written in plain English, with practical steps rather than jargon, and new guides are added through the year. You can also see what the Transparency Code asks of your council.
The newest question on the Annual Governance Statement covers email, websites, IT policies and data. What it asks, and how to answer yes with confidence.
How to move from an old council website without losing published information, breaking links or landing on a bad week, and what your supplier should handle for you.
What the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines are, why version 2.2 matters for council websites, and the practical things it asks of your pages and documents.
A plain-English checklist of the meetings, finance, governance and legal information a parish council must keep online, and where each item belongs.
