Accessibility Statement — Skip Hire Hackney

We are committed to making our skip hire service in Hackney accessible to everyone. This accessibility statement explains our approach to accessibility for Skip Hire Hackney, covering online booking tools, information pages and service interactions. We aim to ensure that people with diverse abilities can find, understand and use our services with dignity and independence.

Our accessibility program follows the principles of inclusive design. We conduct regular reviews of the website and related digital services to confirm alignment with recognised standards. Skip hire Hackney recognises that accessibility benefits all users and is central to our customer-focused service delivery.

We strive to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at the AA level across core public-facing pages and transactional flows. Where full conformance is not yet achieved, we document limitations and provide alternatives to ensure essential functions remain usable by everyone.

Screen-reader support is a priority for our accessible skip hire Hackney content. We ensure semantic HTML, meaningful headings, ARIA where appropriate and descriptive link text so that screen readers can present information clearly. We test with popular screen readers to check that content order, labels and notifications are announced correctly.

Keyboard navigation has been implemented to allow operation of interactive elements without a mouse. Our pages support logical tab order, visible focus indicators and skip navigation links to reduce friction for users who rely on keyboards or switch devices. We also ensure forms for booking skips include clear labels, error identification and instructions to support efficient completion.

To highlight key accessibility features, we provide:

• WCAG 2.1 AA compliance as the baseline for accessible content and interactions;
• Screen-reader friendly structure, with alt text on images and meaningful landmarks;
• Keyboard navigation support including skip links, focus management and accessible controls;
• Clear visual contrast and resizable text to assist users with low vision;
• Alternative formats for essential information where practicable.

We carry out automated and manual testing to verify accessibility across devices and assistive technologies. Our team reviews content, media, interactive forms and PDF documents to reduce barriers. When third-party tools or embedded content are used, we document known limitations and work with vendors to improve accessibility of the overall experience for Hackney residents using skip hire services.

If you need information in an alternative format, require assistance to use our online booking or need a reasonable adjustment to receive skip hire services in Hackney, please contact us using the contact options provided on our main contact page. We will respond to accessibility requests promptly and aim to resolve issues without undue delay.

We maintain an ongoing accessibility improvement plan and welcome requests to make specific pages or services easier to use. While we work towards full compliance across all digital services, our commitment is to provide practical alternatives and support to ensure access to skip hire in Hackney for all customers. This statement is reviewed periodically and updated as improvements are made.
