Commitment to WCAG 2.1 AA Compliance

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 a wide range of disabilities, including visual, hearing, cognitive, and motor impairments. By following these standards, we strive to ensure that our website for waste clearance in Elephant and Castle is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust.

Our ongoing work includes reviewing new content for accessibility, checking colour contrast, ensuring meaningful headings and labels, and keeping layout and navigation consistent across the site.

Screen Reader Support

Our website is designed to be compatible with modern screen reader software so that users who rely on audio or braille output can access our content. We use clear page titles, descriptive headings, and structured content to help screen reader users understand the layout and move through pages effectively.

Images used on the site include alternative text where they convey important information, so that users who cannot see the images can still understand their purpose. Where images are purely decorative, we work to ensure they do not create unnecessary noise for screen reader users.

Keyboard Navigation

We recognise that some users cannot or prefer not to use a mouse. Our website is designed so that you can navigate using only a keyboard. This includes moving between links, buttons, and forms in a logical order using the Tab, Shift plus Tab, Enter, and arrow keys.

Interactive elements such as menus and contact forms are built to be accessible by keyboard. We also aim to provide clear focus indicators so you can see which element is currently selected as you move through the page.
