Accessibility and Inclusivity Statement

Accessibility and Inclusivity

At Wisden Housing Cooperative, based at Bader Close, Stevenage, we are committed to ensuring our website is accessible to as many people as possible, regardless of ability or technology.

We believe everyone should be able to access information about our housing services, community updates, and resources without barriers. We are continually working to improve the user experience for all visitors and to apply relevant accessibility standards.

Our Approach to Accessibility

We aim to provide an inclusive digital environment by following recognised accessibility best practices. Our website is designed to be usable by people with a wide range of abilities, including those who rely on assistive technologies such as screen readers, magnifiers, or keyboard navigation.

We strive to meet the requirements of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at AA level, which is the widely accepted standard for public-facing websites in the UK.

Accessibility Features of Our Website

To support accessibility, we have implemented the following features:

Clear and consistent heading structures for easy navigation
Full keyboard navigation support
Compatibility with screen readers and assistive technologies
High contrast colour schemes to improve readability
Simple, clear language wherever possible
Reduced use of motion and flashing content
Accessible multimedia content where feasible (including captions where appropriate)

Third-Party Content

Some areas of our website may include third-party content or links (for example, embedded maps, documents, or external services). While we aim to ensure accessibility across all pages, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third-party content. We will continue to review and improve these areas where possible.

Ongoing Accessibility Improvements

Accessibility is an ongoing process. We regularly review our website to identify and fix accessibility issues and to ensure continued compliance with evolving standards.
