Accessibility Statement
Accessibility at Man with Van Barnes
Man with Van Barnes is committed to providing an accessible and user friendly experience for all visitors, including disabled users and people who rely on assistive technologies. This Accessibility Statement explains the steps we are taking to make our Man with Van Barnes information and services more accessible to everyone in the local area.
Our commitment to accessibility
We aim to align our website and online content with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines WCAG 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines outline how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, hearing, motor, and cognitive impairments. Our goal is for customers in Barnes and nearby areas to be able to find, understand, and use information about our Man with Van services as independently as possible.
Accessibility is an ongoing process. We review our site regularly and work to improve our pages, content structure, and design so that more users can benefit from an accessible Man with Van Barnes experience.
Screen reader compatibility
Our website is designed to support visitors who use screen readers and other assistive technologies. We aim to use clear headings, descriptive text, and logical reading order so that screen reader users can navigate our Man with Van Barnes pages more easily.
Where possible, images that convey important information include text descriptions so that people who cannot see images still understand the content. We also work to avoid using images that contain essential text and instead provide that information in a readable format.
Keyboard navigation support
The Man with Van Barnes website is intended to be usable with only a keyboard, without the need for a mouse or trackpad. Users should be able to move through menus, forms, and content using standard keyboard controls, such as the Tab, Shift plus Tab, Enter, and Arrow keys.
We aim to maintain a clear visual focus indicator so that users can see which element is currently selected when navigating the page by keyboard. We also work to arrange links and controls in a logical order to support efficient navigation for keyboard users and people using alternative input devices.
Readable content and structure
To support all users, including those with cognitive or learning disabilities, we aim to use plain language where possible and avoid unnecessary jargon. Pages are structured using clear headings and paragraphs so that visitors can quickly find information about our accessible Man with Van Barnes services.
We consider colour contrast and text size so that content remains readable for people with low vision or colour vision deficiencies. Users may also adjust their own browser or device settings, such as zoom level or colour preferences, and our site is designed to work with those adjustments where possible.
Ongoing improvements and limitations
While we strive to achieve and maintain WCAG 2.1 AA conformance, some content or older sections of our site may not yet fully meet these standards. There may also be technical constraints or third party content that we do not fully control. However, we are committed to identifying accessibility issues and working towards practical solutions over time.
We regularly review the site to improve accessibility for customers in the Barnes area and beyond, and we welcome feedback to help us identify specific barriers that users may encounter.
Contact for accessibility requests and feedback
If you experience any difficulty using the Man with Van Barnes website, or if you need information in an alternative format, you can contact us to request support. Please include details about the page or content where you encountered a problem, the type of assistive technology or browser you are using, and the nature of the issue.
We will review your request and respond as soon as we can. Where reasonable and practical, we will provide the information you need in an accessible format or suggest an alternative way to access our Man with Van Barnes services. Your feedback is valuable and helps us improve accessibility for all users.
