Cleaner Wimbledon Accessibility Statement

This Accessibility Statement explains how Cleaner Wimbledon works to make its digital information and online services more accessible to residents, volunteers, businesses and visitors in the Cleaner Wimbledon area. Our goal is to provide an inclusive experience so that as many people as possible can find out about cleaning initiatives, report local issues and take part in community activities, regardless of technology, ability or environment.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

Cleaner Wimbledon is committed to meeting the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines WCAG 2.1 at the AA level. These guidelines set out how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, including people who use assistive technologies. We aim to ensure that content for Cleaner Wimbledon is clear, readable, and easy to use on a range of devices, including desktop computers, laptops, tablets and mobile phones.

Using Cleaner Wimbledon with Assistive Technologies

The Cleaner Wimbledon website is designed to support people who use assistive technologies, including screen readers, screen magnifiers, speech recognition software and alternative input devices. We use clear headings, descriptive text and structured content to help screen reader users understand the layout of each page and navigate between sections efficiently.

Where possible, images are given meaningful alternative text so that the purpose of photographs, icons and graphics can be understood by visitors who cannot see them. Decorative images are implemented in a way that does not distract or confuse screen reader users.

Keyboard Navigation and Focus

We aim to ensure that all core functions related to Cleaner Wimbledon activities can be accessed using only a keyboard, without the need for a mouse or touch input. Visitors should be able to move through menus, forms and interactive features using the Tab, Shift plus Tab, Enter and arrow keys.

Focus states are designed to be visible so that users can see which element is currently selected as they tab through the page. This is intended to be especially helpful to people who rely on keyboard navigation, have mobility difficulties or who use alternative input hardware such as switches or adapted keyboards.

Text, Colour and Layout

Text on the Cleaner Wimbledon website is written in plain language wherever possible to support people with cognitive or learning differences, as well as visitors who may have limited time or are using smaller screens. We work to ensure sufficient colour contrast between text and background so that information can be read by people with low vision or colour vision deficiencies.

The layout is designed to be responsive, adapting to different screen sizes and orientations. This helps visitors access Cleaner Wimbledon information whether they are at home, at work or out in the local area on mobile devices.

Ongoing Improvements

Accessibility is an ongoing process. As Cleaner Wimbledon develops new content, forms and interactive tools, we will continue to review accessibility features and test key pages against WCAG 2.1 AA standards. Feedback from users in the Cleaner Wimbledon area plays an important role in helping us identify and fix issues that may not be discovered during internal testing.

Requesting Support or Reporting an Accessibility Issue

If you experience any difficulty using the Cleaner Wimbledon website, or if you need information in a different format such as large print, audio description or a more accessible document structure, you can contact the Cleaner Wimbledon team to request support. Please provide details of the page or service you are trying to use, the type of problem you are facing and any assistive technology or device you are using. This information helps us respond more effectively and improve accessibility for everyone.

We aim to respond to accessibility requests and reports within a reasonable time and will let you know what action we can take. In some cases, we may not be able to meet every request immediately, but we will explain any limitations and explore alternative ways of providing the information or service you need.
