Accessibility Statement for Man with Van Barking
This Accessibility Statement explains how the Man with Van Barking website supports all users, including disabled visitors, to access information about our moving and transport services in the Barking area. We are committed to providing a website that is usable, understandable, and operable for as many people as possible.
Our Accessibility Commitment
We aim to align our website with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1, at the AA level. These guidelines are recognised as the international standard for web accessibility and help ensure that our digital content is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for users with diverse needs.
We review our website regularly to improve the accessibility of our Man with Van Barking service pages, booking information, and general content, so visitors in Barking and surrounding areas can access our services with confidence.
WCAG 2.1 AA Compliance
Our goal is to meet WCAG 2.1 AA success criteria wherever technically and practically possible. This includes providing sufficient colour contrast, clear headings, readable text, and consistent navigation patterns across the site. We also work to ensure that important information about Man with Van Barking services is not conveyed by colour alone and that text can be resized without loss of content or functionality.
As standards and technologies evolve, we continue to refine the site to maintain and improve our level of WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.
Support for Screen Readers
The Man with Van Barking website is designed to support users who rely on screen readers and other assistive technologies. We follow semantic HTML structure so that headings, lists, and paragraphs are announced correctly, helping visitors to understand the content and structure of our pages.
Images that provide important information include descriptive alternative text so that users who cannot see images can still understand the content. Decorative images are marked in a way that allows screen readers to skip them, reducing unnecessary noise for users navigating with assistive technology.
Keyboard Navigation
We recognise that many users navigate websites using a keyboard rather than a mouse or touch screen. Our site is designed so that all main features and information about Man with Van Barking services can be accessed using keyboard-only navigation.
Interactive elements are arranged in a logical tab order, and focus indicators help users understand where they are on the page. Forms and controls are labelled clearly so that keyboard and screen reader users can complete tasks, such as requesting information about a man with van in the Barking area, without needing a pointing device.
Ongoing Improvements
Accessibility is an ongoing process. As we add or update content on the Man with Van Barking website, we review new pages and features to help ensure that they remain accessible and consistent with WCAG 2.1 AA principles. We also aim to keep our code compatible with modern browsers and assistive technologies.
We welcome feedback from users to help us improve. Your experience helps us understand where we can make changes that benefit everyone.
