Man with Van Upminster Accessibility Statement

Man with Van Upminster is committed to providing an accessible online experience for all customers, including disabled users, older people, and anyone using assistive technologies. This Accessibility Statement explains the steps we are taking to make our website and Man with Van Upminster area services more inclusive and easier to use for everyone.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

We aim to align our website and online content with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines WCAG 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, hearing, cognitive, and motor impairments. We see accessibility as an ongoing responsibility and a key part of how we serve customers across the Man with Van Upminster area.

Using Our Website with Screen Readers

The Man with Van Upminster website is designed to work with modern screen-reader software. We focus on providing clear page titles, logical heading structures, and meaningful text for buttons and other controls. Images that convey information are given appropriate text alternatives so screen-reader users can understand the purpose or content of those images.

We also aim to ensure that important information is not conveyed by colour alone, and that content is presented in a way that can be programmatically determined by assistive technologies wherever possible.

Keyboard Navigation and Focus

Our website is intended to be fully navigable using only a keyboard, without requiring a mouse or touch input. Users should be able to move through menus, forms, and content using standard keys such as Tab, Shift plus Tab, Enter, and the arrow keys. We work to ensure that the focus indicator is visible, so users can easily see which element on the page is currently selected.

Where possible, we avoid keyboard traps and ensure that all interactive elements can be entered and exited using the keyboard alone. This supports users with mobility impairments and those who prefer or need to navigate without a pointing device.

Readable Content and Visual Design

We aim to provide clear, simple language when describing our accessible Man with Van Upminster services, so that information is easy to understand. We work to maintain good colour contrast between text and background to support users with visual impairments or colour-vision differences. Text is designed to be resizable using browser controls without loss of content or functionality.

Layouts are created to be responsive so that content can be accessed on a range of devices, including desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones, while maintaining readability and usability.

Ongoing Improvements and Limitations

We recognise that accessibility is an ongoing process. While we strive to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards, there may be areas of the site that are still being improved. This may include older content or certain third-party components that are outside of our direct control. We regularly review the website and work towards improving any known accessibility issues as part of our commitment to customers in the Man with Van Upminster area.

Requesting Information in an Accessible Format

You may ask for information to be provided verbally, in larger print, or in another format that better meets your needs where reasonably possible.

When you contact us with an accessibility request, please include details about the specific page, content, or feature you are trying to use, and the type of support or format you require. This helps us respond more quickly and effectively.
