Man With a Van Barking Accessibility Statement

Man With a Van Barking is committed to providing a website and services that are accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology, ability, or personal circumstances. We want everyone who visits our website or uses our services in the Barking area to be able to find information and make arrangements easily, in a way that works for them.

Our Accessibility Commitment

Our goal is to align our website and online content with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines WCAG version 2.1, level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, including people who use assistive technologies such as screen readers, magnification software, voice control, or alternative input devices.

We aim to ensure that customers looking for an accessible Man With a Van service in the Barking area can browse, understand, and use our website without encountering unnecessary barriers.

Measures to Support Accessibility

We take the following steps to improve accessibility for visitors to our Man With a Van Barking website:

We design content with clear structure, headings, and plain language so that pages are easy to follow and understand.

We try to provide sufficient colour contrast between text and background to help users with low vision or colour vision differences.

We use consistent navigation patterns and predictable layouts to support all users, including those with cognitive or learning differences.

We aim to ensure that important information is not conveyed by colour alone and that text alternatives are available where required.

Screen Reader Support

Our website is being developed and reviewed to work well with popular screen readers used on desktop, laptop, and mobile devices. We aim for clear and descriptive page titles, headings, and labels, so that screen reader users can understand page structure, locate the Man With a Van Barking services they need, and move quickly to key content.

We also aim to provide meaningful alternative text for images that convey important information, so that users who cannot see images can still access the same content.

Keyboard Navigation

We know that some users cannot use a mouse or touch screen and instead rely on a keyboard or alternative input device. Our aim is that all interactive elements, such as menus, buttons, and forms, can be accessed and operated using only a keyboard.

We work to ensure that the keyboard focus is visible and moves through the page in a logical order, so that users can see where they are and what element is currently selected. We aim to avoid keyboard traps, where a user can enter an area of the page but cannot leave it using the keyboard alone.

Ongoing Improvements

Accessibility is an ongoing process. We regularly review our website and content to identify areas where we can improve and better support people who want an accessible Man With a Van service in Barking. As technology and standards evolve, we will continue to develop our site to offer a better and more inclusive experience.

Some parts of our website may not yet fully meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards. When we identify issues, we aim to fix them as part of our regular update cycle and future development work.
