Accessibility Statement for Cricklewood Garden Services

This accessibility statement explains how our Gardening Cricklewood services aim to make information and services available to as many people as possible. We are committed to achieving and maintaining WCAG 2.1 AA compliance across our content, including pages describing Cricklewood gardening activities, community plantings, and information about Cricklewood garden services. We recognise that accessibility is an ongoing process and strive to ensure inclusive access for everyone.

We design our site and written materials to support people using assistive technologies. That includes compatibility with screen readers, visible focus indicators for keyboard users, and logical heading structure so that people exploring gardening in Cricklewood can navigate efficiently. Our approach uses semantic HTML, ARIA where appropriate, and regular accessibility checks as part of content updates to maintain a consistent user experience.

In addition to technical standards, we emphasise plain language and clear organisation of content about Cricklewood gardening projects. Where images, diagrams, or maps are used to illustrate planting layouts or seasonal schedules, we provide descriptive text equivalents so screen-reader users and those using low-vision modes receive the same essential information.

We support keyboard navigation throughout the material related to gardening in Cricklewood. You can move through links, form controls, and interactive elements without a mouse, using tab, shift-tab, and other standard keyboard interactions. Focus order follows content order and major controls are reachable and operable by keyboard alone to ensure equitable access.

Key accessibility features

Our accessibility work focuses on the following practical measures for Cricklewood garden resources and public area guidance:

• WCAG 2.1 AA conformance targets across text, contrast, and interactive elements.
• Screen-reader support for navigation, forms, and media descriptions.
• Keyboard-first navigation and visible focus outlines for all interactive controls.
• Use of clear headings, lists, and landmarks for faster orientation.

Our content editors follow an accessibility checklist when publishing information related to Cricklewood garden services, park planting updates, or volunteer notices. We run automated tools complemented by manual testing with screen readers and keyboard-only sessions. When necessary, we apply accessible alternatives such as downloadable text summaries and captioned video so that people with different needs can access gardening resources.

We are aware that accessibility is not one-size-fits-all. Some users request large-print versions, high-contrast layouts, or simplified content about specific community horticulture activities. Our team considers such requests seriously and aims to provide reasonable adjustments where feasible and safe, ensuring equal participation in Cricklewood community gardening opportunities.

Ongoing improvement is central to our approach. We review our accessibility practices regularly, incorporate user testing findings, and update published material when better solutions are identified. Our internal training includes accessibility principles so that those who write about Cricklewood gardening keep inclusivity front-of-mind.

This helps us understand the issue clearly and provide the most useful support. We respect privacy and handle requests in line with our data protection commitments.
