Man Van Accessibility Statement

This Accessibility Statement explains how the Man Van website and Man Van area aim to remain accessible and easy to use for as many people as possible. We are committed to providing a positive and inclusive experience to visitors accessing information about Man Van services, whether online or when visiting a Man Van area in person.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

We are working towards meeting the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines WCAG version 2.1 at the AA level. These guidelines are recognised as an international standard for creating content that is more accessible for disabled people, and more user friendly for everyone. Our goal is for people with a wide range of access needs to be able to use the Man Van website and understand information about the accessible Man Van area.

Using the Man Van Website

The Man Van website is designed to be used on desktop, laptop, tablet, and mobile devices. Text, colours, layout, and structure have been chosen to support good readability and clear navigation. Content is written in plain language where possible and structured with headings that follow a logical order.

We aim to ensure that the Man Van pages do not rely only on colour, sound, or complex interaction. Information about the accessible Man Van area is presented in a way that works even if images, styles, or media are limited or turned off by the user.

Screen Reader Support

The Man Van website is built to support people who use screen readers or other assistive technologies. We use descriptive page titles, headings, and text alternatives for meaningful images where available. Form fields and interactive elements are labelled to help assistive technology identify their purpose.

The reading order of content is designed to follow the visual order, helping screen reader users to understand and move through information about services in the accessible Man Van area.

Keyboard Navigation

The Man Van website can be navigated using a keyboard alone, without a mouse or touch screen. People can move through links, buttons, and forms using common keyboard commands such as the Tab, Shift plus Tab, Enter, and Space keys. We aim for a clear visible focus state to show which element on the page is currently selected.

Menus and interactive components are designed to be operable by keyboard so that information about the accessible Man Van area can be reached without needing a pointing device.

Compatibility and Technical Standards

The Man Van website aims to use modern, widely supported HTML and related technologies so that it works with a broad range of browsers and assistive tools. While older browsers may not support every feature, we work to ensure that core content and essential tasks remain accessible.

Limitations and Ongoing Improvements

We recognise that not every part of the Man Van website may yet fully meet WCAG 2.1 AA success criteria. Some legacy content, documents, or media relating to the Man Van area may not be fully accessible. We are reviewing these materials and updating or replacing them over time so that they better meet accessibility expectations.

Accessibility is an ongoing process. As we introduce new information and features related to the accessible Man Van area, we test them wherever possible and make changes based on feedback from users and accessibility specialists.

Requesting Information in an Accessible Format

If you find that information about the Man Van service or an accessible Man Van area is not available in a format you can use, you can request it in an alternative format. Examples may include large print, easy read, or other formats that better meet your needs.

Feedback and Contact for Accessibility Requests

Your feedback helps us improve the accessibility and usability of the Man Van website and accessible Man Van area. If you experience any accessibility barriers, have difficulty using a feature, or would like to make an accessibility request, please contact the Man Van team using the usual contact channels published on our site and state that your message relates to accessibility.

When you contact us, it is helpful if you can include details of the page or service you were using, what you were trying to do, and the assistive technology, browser, or device you were using. We will review your request and aim to respond within a reasonable time frame.

Future Updates to This Statement

This Accessibility Statement will be reviewed and updated periodically to reflect changes to the Man Van website, services, or relevant standards. We aim to keep this information accurate so that you know how we support accessibility for the Man Van and for every accessible Man Van area.
