Gardeners Brent Park Accessibility Statement

Gardeners Brent Park is committed to providing a welcoming, inclusive and accessible experience for all visitors and website users. This Accessibility Statement explains the steps we take to support accessibility in the Gardeners Brent Park area and on our digital services, as well as how you can contact us with any accessibility requests or feedback.

Our Accessibility Commitment

We aim to make information about Gardeners Brent Park easy to find, understand and use for as many people as possible. Our goal is for our website and online information about the Gardeners Brent Park area to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines WCAG 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.

While we work to achieve and maintain WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, we recognise that accessibility is an ongoing process. We regularly review content, update features and consider user feedback to help identify and address any barriers.

Using Screen Readers

Our website is designed to be compatible with modern screen reader software. We use a clear heading structure, meaningful page titles and descriptive text where possible to support navigation for people who rely on assistive technologies. Text content relating to Gardeners Brent Park is written in plain language, with short paragraphs and clear labels for sections, to make information easier to follow with a screen reader.

We aim to provide alternative text for important images where this adds useful context about Gardeners Brent Park. Decorative images are marked so that screen readers can ignore them, helping users focus on essential content.

Keyboard Navigation

Our website can be navigated without a mouse by using a keyboard or similar input device. You should be able to move through menus, links, forms and interactive elements using standard keyboard controls such as the Tab, Shift plus Tab, Enter and Space keys.

We work to ensure that focus states are clearly visible, showing which part of the page is currently selected. This is important for visitors who navigate the Gardeners Brent Park information pages solely with a keyboard or switch device. We aim to avoid keyboard traps, so you can always move forwards and backwards through interactive elements or leave them when you choose.

Visual Accessibility and Readability

To support visitors with visual impairments, we aim to use sufficient colour contrast between text and backgrounds and ensure that text remains readable when users adjust zoom levels in their browser. Layouts related to Gardeners Brent Park information are designed to be responsive, so content reflows to fit different screen sizes without loss of functionality.

We avoid relying solely on colour to convey meaning, and we use clear text labels or additional visual indicators wherever practical. We also aim to ensure that headings, lists and forms are coded in a way that supports both sighted and non sighted users.

Ongoing Improvements

We are continually working to improve accessibility across our website and digital information about Gardeners Brent Park. This may include refining page structure, improving compatibility with assistive technologies, and updating older content so that it aligns more closely with WCAG 2.1 AA guidance.

As new guidance, tools and technologies become available, we will review and, where possible, enhance our accessibility features to support a wider range of users.

Contact for Accessibility Requests

Please include details of the page or content you were trying to use, the nature of the problem, and any assistive technology you rely on where relevant.

We will review your request and aim to respond in a reasonable time frame. Your feedback helps us improve the accessibility of information for everyone visiting the Gardeners Brent Park area and using our online services.
