Kennington Cleaners Accessibility Commitment

Kennington Cleaners is committed to providing an accessible and inclusive online experience for all customers in the Kennington area, including people with disabilities. We want everyone to be able to access information about our cleaning services, understand our pricing and availability, and contact us without barriers. This accessibility statement explains the steps we are taking to improve accessibility and how you can get in touch if you experience any difficulties.

Our Accessibility Standards and Approach

We aim for our website and online content to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines are recognised internationally as a benchmark for creating accessible websites and digital content. By working towards WCAG 2.1 AA, we focus on making our website perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for as many people as possible.

Our approach includes regularly reviewing the design and structure of the Kennington Cleaners website, checking new content before it goes live, and considering accessibility when we update features or add new services. Our goal is to ensure that customers in Kennington and surrounding areas can access our cleaning services with confidence and independence.

Screen-Reader and Assistive Technology Support

The Kennington Cleaners website is designed to be compatible with modern screen-readers and other assistive technologies. We use clear headings and structured content so that pages can be navigated easily with screen-reading software. Images that are important for understanding the content are given descriptive text so that people using assistive technology can access the same information as sighted users.

We aim to keep our language plain and straightforward, so that content is easier to understand for people with cognitive or learning disabilities, and for anyone who may not be fluent in English. We also avoid relying solely on colour to communicate information, which supports users with colour-vision deficiencies.

Keyboard Navigation and Interaction

We recognise that some visitors may not be able to use a mouse or touch screen. The Kennington Cleaners website is being developed to be fully navigable and usable via keyboard only. This includes being able to move through menus, forms, and interactive elements using the Tab, Shift plus Tab, Enter, and arrow keys.

We aim to ensure that the focus state is clearly visible, so users can easily see where they are on each page while navigating by keyboard. Buttons and form controls are designed to be easy to activate with a keyboard and to provide clear feedback when actions are completed, such as confirming that a booking enquiry has been sent.

Ongoing Improvements and Limitations

While we are actively working towards full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance, some areas of the Kennington Cleaners website may not yet be fully optimised for accessibility. This can include older pages, legacy content, or third-party tools that we do not fully control. We continuously review these elements and look for accessible alternatives wherever possible.

If you encounter any issues, we encourage you to contact us so that we can investigate and work towards a solution. Your feedback helps us prioritise improvements that matter most to our customers in the Kennington area.
