Accessibility Statement for Man with Van Preston

Man with Van Preston is committed to providing an accessible online experience for all users, including disabled customers, their carers and supporters across the Preston area. This Accessibility Statement explains how our website supports different access needs, the steps we are taking to comply with recognised standards, and how you can contact us with accessibility requests or feedback.

Our commitment to accessibility

We aim to make our Man with Van Preston website easy to use and understand for as many people as possible. Our goal is to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, version 2.1, at 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.

We view accessibility as an ongoing process. As our Man with Van services in Preston grow and our website content changes, we continue to test, review and improve the way information is presented and navigated so that it remains as inclusive as possible.

Using the website with screen readers

The Man with Van Preston website is designed to work with modern screen reader software. We use clear heading structures, descriptive text and logical content order to help screen reader users move through pages efficiently.

Images that are important for understanding content are provided with alternative text so that their purpose can be understood even when they cannot be seen. We aim to avoid images of text where possible, and when they are used we provide equivalent information in normal text on the page.

Form fields and interactive elements are labelled so that screen readers can announce their function clearly. We strive to keep language simple and direct to support users who rely on audio output or who have cognitive or learning differences.

Keyboard navigation and focus

Our website is designed so that it can be used without a mouse. Visitors should be able to move through all main sections and interactive elements of the Man with Van Preston site using only a keyboard. This supports users with mobility impairments, as well as those who prefer not to use a pointing device.

We aim to ensure that the focus order is logical and predictable as you tab through links, forms and buttons. A visible focus indicator is used so that keyboard users can easily see which element is currently active.

Drop down menus, buttons and forms are built to be operable via keyboard commands. We avoid using interactions that rely only on a mouse hover or complex gestures.

Text, layout and readability

The Man with Van Preston website uses layouts that adapt to different screen sizes and devices, including mobile and tablet. Text is sized and spaced to support readability and can be enlarged using standard browser tools.

We aim to maintain clear colour contrast between text and background to help visitors with low vision or colour blindness. Content is written in plain, straightforward language wherever possible to make information about our accessible Man with Van Preston services simple to understand.

Ongoing work to improve accessibility

We regularly review our site to identify any accessibility issues and to make improvements in line with WCAG 2.1 AA guidance. When we add new features or content related to Man with Van services in Preston, we consider accessibility from the outset so that it is built in and not added later as an afterthought.

We understand that standards and technologies change over time. We therefore treat accessibility as an ongoing area of improvement and welcome feedback from users who experience barriers when using our website.
