Accessibility Statement for Man and a Van Barnet
Man and a Van Barnet is committed to ensuring that our website and our moving and transport services are accessible to the widest possible audience in the Barnet area. We want everyone, including disabled users, older users, and people using assistive technologies, to be able to access information about our accessible Man and a Van Barnet services easily and independently.
Our Accessibility Commitment
Our goal is to align our website with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1, at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content more usable and accessible for people with a wide range of abilities, including visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor impairments. We treat accessibility as an ongoing process and regularly review our site to identify areas for improvement.
WCAG 2.1 AA Compliance Efforts
We aim to design and maintain our website in line with WCAG 2.1 AA principles: perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust. This includes providing sufficient colour contrast, clear and consistent headings, and text that can be resized using browser settings. We work to ensure that forms, service descriptions, and booking information for our Man and a Van Barnet services are presented in a clear and logical order, helping users find and understand the information they need.
Screen-Reader Support
Our website is developed to work with popular screen-reader technologies. We use meaningful page titles, headings, and text descriptions so that screen-reader users can navigate our accessible Man and a Van Barnet content more easily. Where possible, images are accompanied by alternative text that explains their purpose. We also aim to ensure that important information is not conveyed by colour or images alone, so that users relying on audio output do not miss key details.
Keyboard Navigation
We recognise that many users navigate websites without a mouse and rely on keyboard-only access. Our website is designed so that the main navigation, content sections, and form fields can be reached and activated using standard keyboard controls. We aim to maintain a logical tab order, visible focus indicators where possible, and keyboard access to interactive elements linked to our Man and a Van Barnet services. We are continually reviewing the site to address any areas where keyboard navigation may be improved.
Compatible Browsers and Devices
Our site is tested on modern browsers and devices commonly used in the Barnet area. We aim to provide a responsive layout so that information about our Man and a Van Barnet services is accessible on desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. While we strive for broad compatibility, some older technologies may not fully support all accessibility features, and we encourage users to keep their browser and assistive tools up to date.
Ongoing Improvements
Accessibility is an ongoing commitment. As we add or update content about our accessible Man and a Van Barnet services, we review the impact on accessibility and seek to ensure that new pages, forms, and features meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards where practical. We also welcome feedback from users, as real-world experiences help us identify and fix issues more effectively.
