Accessibility Statement for Gardeners Keston
Gardeners Keston is committed to making our services and online content as accessible and inclusive as possible for everyone in the local area. We want visitors, clients, and community members to be able to explore information about gardeners in Keston with confidence, whether they are using assistive technology, a keyboard, a screen reader, or other accessibility tools. Our aim is to provide an experience that is clear, usable, and consistent across devices and browsers.
This accessibility statement explains the steps we take to support accessibility and the standards we work toward. We are continually reviewing our content and design so that our accessible Gardeners Keston experience remains practical for as many users as possible. Where we identify barriers, we seek to improve them in a timely way.
We aim for conformance with WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines. This means we focus on perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust content. In practice, this includes readable text, sufficient colour contrast, logical heading structures, and features that help users navigate the pages with ease. We understand that accessibility is not a one-time task; it is an ongoing responsibility.
Our website is designed with compatibility in mind for a range of assistive technologies. We work to support screen-reader users by using meaningful page structure, descriptive headings, and text that can be interpreted clearly by common reading tools. Images and non-text elements are reviewed so they do not block understanding of the page content.
As part of our ongoing review, we monitor content updates to help maintain accessibility standards. This includes checking headings, link text, form labels if used, and the reading order of page elements. We also aim to ensure that any visual information has a meaningful text alternative where needed, so screen-reader support is not compromised.
We understand that accessibility needs vary. Some visitors may need content presented more clearly, while others may need support with navigation or device compatibility. Wherever possible, we will review the issue and work toward a practical solution. Accessibility matters to us because it helps more people access gardening information without unnecessary obstacles.
This statement may be updated from time to time as we improve our digital services and review our accessibility practices. Our commitment is to provide a better experience for all users, including those using screen readers, keyboard-only controls, or other assistive tools. Gardeners Keston remains focused on inclusive access and ongoing improvement.
