Accessibility Statement for Gardeners Grahame Park Website

This accessibility statement applies to the Gardeners Grahame Park website. We want as many people as possible to be able to use our online information and services, including visitors, residents and volunteers in the Gardeners Grahame Park area. We are committed to providing a digital experience that is inclusive, easy to navigate and supports a wide range of access needs.

Our Accessibility Standards

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1, level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities and more user friendly for everyone. We regularly review our content and design to help ensure that the site remains usable as technology and standards evolve.

The Gardeners Grahame Park website is designed so that text is clear, contrast is sufficient, and layout is responsive on different devices, including tablets and mobile phones used around the Gardeners Grahame Park area.

Screen Reader and Assistive Technology Support

The site is designed to work with common screen readers and other assistive technologies. We use meaningful headings, lists and landmarks so that users can understand the structure of each page. Images include descriptive alternative text where appropriate, particularly when they relate to key services and information about gardening activities at Grahame Park.

Form fields and buttons are labelled so that screen reader users can understand the purpose of each control. Where visual indicators are used, we aim to provide text equivalents so that information is not conveyed by colour or imagery alone.

Keyboard Navigation

The Gardeners Grahame Park website is intended to be navigable using a keyboard alone. Users should be able to move logically through interactive elements, including menus, forms and controls, without needing a mouse. We aim to maintain a visible focus indicator to show which element is currently selected.

Where components such as navigation menus or interactive features are used, they are designed to be operable through standard keyboard commands, supporting visitors who access our information from different devices or who cannot use a pointing device.

Compatibility and Supported Browsers

We aim for the Gardeners Grahame Park website to function across modern web browsers and devices commonly used in the local area. While we cannot guarantee full support for very old browsers, we try to ensure that content remains readable and that essential services can still be accessed.

Ongoing Improvements

We recognise that accessibility is an ongoing process, not a one time task. We continue to review content, introduce improvements and address any issues that may affect visitors with disabilities. This includes improving the clarity of language, ensuring consistent navigation and refining the structure of pages related to gardening projects and community activities at Grahame Park.

Feedback and Requests for Accessible Information

If you find parts of this site difficult to use or if you need information from Gardeners Grahame Park in a different format, such as large print, easy read or an alternative digital format, you can contact the Gardeners Grahame Park team to make an accessibility request.

When you contact us, please include details of the content you are trying to access, the format you require and any assistive technology you are using. This will help us understand the issue and respond more effectively.

Reporting Accessibility Issues

If you encounter an accessibility problem on the Gardeners Grahame Park website, you can report it to the site administrators. Tell us which page or service you were using, what you were trying to do and what went wrong. We will review your report, investigate the issue and aim to provide a response and, where possible, a fix within a reasonable timeframe.
