Accessibility Commitment at Gardening Lee

At Gardening Lee we are committed to making our services and information accessible to everyone in the Gardening Lee area. This accessibility statement explains our approach, the standards we aim to meet, and the features we provide, including our commitment to WCAG 2.1 AA compliance. We recognise that accessibility is an ongoing process and we aim to maintain an inclusive experience for people accessing our garden care content and local Lee-based services.

We design with assistive technologies in mind: our online content supports screen-reader compatibility and clear semantic structure so people using screen reading tools can navigate Gardening in Lee resources. We use headings, ARIA landmarks where appropriate, and meaningful link text to help assistive technology users move through material efficiently.

Our site and materials prioritise keyboard navigation and focus management so that all interactive elements are reachable without a mouse. That includes form controls, booking interfaces, and image galleries for Lee gardening portfolios. We test keyboard focus order to ensure intuitive, sequential access for keyboard-only users.

How we meet standards: we strive to meet the WCAG 2.1 AA success criteria for perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust content. Key measures include sufficient colour contrast, scalable text, resizable layouts, and captions or transcripts for multimedia where relevant to gardening demonstrations or local Lee area videos. We also provide accessible document formats when possible.

Technical and human testing: our accessibility checks combine automated tools and manual reviews, including real-world testing with keyboard-only navigation and popular screen readers. We maintain an accessibility checklist and train staff involved in content creation and client communications to ensure consistent application of inclusive practices across Lee gardening services.

Common features and accommodations include:

• Clear headings and semantic markup to aid screen-reader users
• Keyboard-accessible menus and interactive widgets
• High contrast options and scalable text for visual clarity

Limitations and known issues: despite our efforts to reach full accessibility for the Gardening Lee area, some legacy content or third-party materials may not yet meet ideal standards. Where full compliance is not possible immediately, we provide alternatives and work to remediate issues promptly. We document exceptions and prioritise fixes according to impact and feasibility.

Ongoing improvements: we review accessibility periodically and update the approach as technologies and standards evolve. Our commitment to inclusive Lee gardening services includes regular audits, updates to style templates, and checks on new interactive features before deployment. We aim to be proactive and responsive in making enhancements.

Contact and making a request: if you require information in an alternative format or need assistance, please contact our accessibility team to make an accessibility request. We do not list contact details here, but will respond to accessibility requests through our regular organisational channels and provide support within a reasonable timeframe. We welcome clear descriptions of the issue and the format you need so we can best assist.
