Accessibility Statement for Rubbish Clearance Hackney

Rubbish Clearance Hackney is committed to providing an accessible and inclusive online experience for all visitors, including people with disabilities. This Accessibility Statement explains the measures we take to support digital accessibility for users in the Hackney area who are looking for accessible rubbish clearance services, as well as for visitors from elsewhere.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

We aim for our website for Rubbish Clearance Hackney to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines outline how to make web content more perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for as many users as possible, regardless of ability, device, or assistive technology.

Our goal is to ensure that people using screen-readers, keyboard-only navigation, speech recognition software, or other assistive tools can access information about our waste and rubbish clearance services in Hackney with minimal barriers.

Standards and Compliance

The website for Rubbish Clearance Hackney is being developed and updated with reference to WCAG 2.1 AA success criteria. This includes attention to text alternatives for non-text content, adequate colour contrast, meaningful headings, logical structure, and predictable navigation.

While we strive to meet or exceed WCAG 2.1 AA standards, web accessibility is an ongoing process. We regularly review our content, design, and code to identify areas where accessibility in the Hackney rubbish clearance service area can be further improved.

Screen-Reader Support

The Rubbish Clearance Hackney website is designed to be compatible with commonly used screen-reader software. We aim to use descriptive page titles, clear headings, and properly coded lists and paragraphs so that content is read in a logical order for users who rely on audio feedback.

Where images are used to support information about rubbish clearance services in Hackney, we aim to provide alternative text to describe the purpose of the image. Decorative images are marked in a way that allows screen-readers to skip them where appropriate.

Keyboard Navigation

Rubbish Clearance Hackney recognises that many users navigate the web without a mouse. Our website is being designed so that core features, such as accessing information about accessible rubbish clearance in Hackney, completing forms, and moving through menus, can be performed using a keyboard alone.

We aim to provide a visible focus indicator to help keyboard users see which element on the page is currently selected. Navigation is structured in a logical order to reduce confusion and to make it easier to move through key content about our Hackney rubbish clearance services.

Ongoing Improvements

Accessibility is not a one-time project for Rubbish Clearance Hackney. As we add new pages, update service information, or introduce new features related to rubbish clearance in the Hackney area, we review these changes for potential accessibility impacts. Where issues are found, we prioritise fixes and schedule updates to minimise disruption for users.

We also encourage feedback from the community so we can better understand real-world accessibility needs for people seeking rubbish clearance services in Hackney and beyond.
