Accessibility Statement for Waste Collection Roehampton

Waste Collection Roehampton is committed to providing an accessible and inclusive online experience for all residents, businesses, and visitors in the Roehampton area. Our goal is to ensure that everyone can access information about waste collection, recycling, and related services, regardless of ability, technology, or environment.

Our Accessibility Commitment

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 at level AA. These internationally recognised guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for disabled people, and more user friendly for everyone. We are continuously improving our digital services to offer accessible waste collection information for Roehampton residents.

Steps We Take to Support Accessibility

We work to design, build, and maintain our website so that it is clear, simple to use, and accessible. This includes using readable text, logical headings, and consistent navigation throughout the site. We also strive to ensure that interactive features related to waste collection Roehampton services are usable with a range of devices and assistive technologies.

Screen-Reader Compatibility

Our website is designed to support people who use screen readers and other assistive technologies. We aim to provide meaningful alternative text for images where they add important information, use descriptive headings, and ensure content is read in a logical order. Where possible, form fields, buttons, and controls include clear labels so that users can understand and operate waste collection request forms and service information using screen readers.

Keyboard Navigation

The Waste Collection Roehampton website is being improved to allow full navigation using only a keyboard. This is important for users who cannot use a mouse or touch device. You should be able to move through most of the site using the Tab, Shift plus Tab, Enter, and arrow keys. We aim to provide visible focus indicators so you can clearly see which element is selected on the page when navigating by keyboard.

Use of Colour, Contrast and Text

We aim to use sufficient colour contrast between text and background so content is readable for people with low vision or colour vision deficiency. Text is written in plain language where possible, to help all users, including those using screen readers or translation tools, understand waste and recycling guidance for the Roehampton area.

Compatibility with Browsers and Devices

Our website is designed to work on current versions of major browsers and to be usable on desktop computers, tablets, and mobile devices. This is to help ensure that information about accessible waste collection in Roehampton is available in a convenient format wherever you are.

Ongoing Improvements

Accessibility is an ongoing process. We regularly review our website and content to address issues and improve the user experience. When we add new pages or features for waste collection Roehampton services, we aim to design them with accessibility in mind from the start and to test them using a range of assistive technologies where reasonably possible.

Limitations and Known Issues

While we strive to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards, some content or older documents may not yet be fully accessible. There may be occasional issues with keyboard focus, descriptive labels, or older images without alternative text. We are working to identify and fix these issues as part of our ongoing accessibility programme.
