The Tenants Voice is committed to making this website accessible to as many readers as possible, including readers with disabilities, in line with our duties under the Equality Act 2010 and the principles of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1.
What we have done
- Keyboard navigation works across the site. Every interactive element can be reached and activated using the keyboard alone.
- Heading structure follows the document outline; every page has a single H1, and H2/H3 sections are nested logically.
- Colour contrast meets WCAG AA on body text and most interactive elements. Where contrast is borderline we test against AA in our development process.
- Image alternative text is provided for editorial illustrations. Decorative images are marked as such so screen readers skip them.
- Plain UK English is our default editorial style.
- Mobile-first responsive design: the site is readable on small screens without horizontal scrolling.
- Semantic HTML: we use list, table, button, and link elements appropriately rather than styling div elements to look like them.
Where we have known gaps
The Tenants Voice is being actively rebuilt as a publication. Some older imported pages may not yet meet our current accessibility standard. We are working through legacy pages as part of regular editorial review.
Telling us about a barrier
If you find any part of The Tenants Voice difficult to use because of a disability, please tell us via the contact page. We will fix the specific barrier where we can, usually within a fortnight, and we will tell you if there is something we cannot fix and why.
Enforcement
If you are not satisfied with our response to an accessibility complaint, you can contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service for advice on your rights under the Equality Act 2010.
