Accessibility Statement

Accessibility Statement for Walthamstow Man and Van Services

Walthamstow Man and Van is committed to providing an accessible and inclusive experience for all customers in the Walthamstow area, including people with disabilities and access needs. This accessibility statement explains the steps we take to make our website and online information easier to use, the standards we aim to meet, and how you can contact us if you have any accessibility requests or encounter barriers.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

We are working towards meeting the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, known as WCAG 2.1, at the AA level. These guidelines are internationally recognised standards that describe how to make digital content more accessible for people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, hearing, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.

Our goal is for customers looking for a reliable and accessible Walthamstow Man and Van service to be able to find, understand, and use our information without unnecessary barriers, whether browsing on desktop, mobile, or assistive technologies.

Screen Reader Support

We aim to ensure that key content on our website can be accessed and understood using screen readers and other assistive technologies. This includes using clear headings, descriptive page titles, and meaningful text for images wherever possible. We also work to ensure that important information about our Walthamstow Man and Van services is presented in text rather than only in images or complex layouts.

We are reviewing our pages to improve the reading order, labelling of form fields, and clarity of navigation so that screen reader users can move through our content efficiently.

Keyboard Navigation

Our intention is that the website can be navigated and used without a mouse, relying only on a keyboard or alternative input device. This includes being able to move through menus, forms, and content using standard keyboard controls such as the Tab, Shift and Enter keys.

We are working to maintain consistent focus indicators so users can see which element is currently selected, and to ensure that interactive elements can be reached, understood, and used through keyboard navigation alone.

Text, Layout, and Readability

We aim to write content in clear and straightforward language so that information about our accessible Walthamstow Man and Van services is easy to understand. We avoid unnecessary jargon and use headings, paragraphs, and spacing to make pages easier to scan and read.

Where possible, we design layouts that remain usable when text size is increased in the browser. We also aim to maintain sufficient colour contrast between text and background so that content remains legible for users with visual impairments.

Ongoing Improvements

Accessibility is an ongoing process. We regularly review our website and services to identify areas for improvement and make changes over time. As we add new features or content relating to Walthamstow Man and Van services, we aim to design and develop them with accessibility in mind from the outset.

There may be some legacy content or technical limitations that are not yet fully compliant with WCAG 2.1 AA. We are working to resolve these issues and prioritise improvements that have the greatest impact on users.
