Accessible Experience at Harrys Waste

This accessibility statement explains how Harrys Waste and related local services work to make information and interactions accessible to everyone in the Harrys Waste area. We aim to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards across our public content, and we have adopted inclusive design practices to support people who use assistive technologies. Our commitment covers digital content, service information, and ways people can request alternative formats.

We design with semantic HTML, clear heading structure and predictable navigation to support screen-reader support and improved comprehension. Headings, lists and ARIA where necessary provide accessible landmarks so users can move quickly through pages. We also include keyboard focus styles, logical tab order and high-contrast color relationships to help users with vision or motor difficulties.

Key accessibility features we maintain for Harrys Waste area information include:

• WCAG 2.1 AA compliance targets across text, images and interactive components.
• Full keyboard navigation support, enabling complete operation without a mouse.
• Screen-reader friendly markup, including ARIA attributes used only when required.

We actively test pages and components with common screen readers and assistive technologies, focusing on real-world scenarios in the Harrys Waste locality. Testing includes keyboard-only navigation, voiceover and NVDA checks, and inspections for semantic correctness. Where automated scanning highlights issues, we prioritize human review and remediation.

Our approach to accessibility is iterative: we monitor usage, update designs, and train teams on inclusive content creation. This means documents and images are given clear captions and descriptive text, and interactive forms include labels and error messages that are accessible to both magnification users and assistive software.

To support people who rely on keyboard navigation we provide visible focus indicators and skip links. These elements help users move between the main navigation, page content and footer areas without unnecessary tab stops. We also avoid keyboard traps and ensure modals and dialogues return focus appropriately when closed.

If you need information in an alternative format, or require assistance with content about the Harrys Waste services in your area, please contact our accessibility team using the official contact channels on the site. When making a request, please tell us the specific content you need, the format you prefer (for example large print, plain text, or an audio recording), and any assistive technologies you use so we can respond helpfully.

We strive to acknowledge accessibility requests promptly and to provide a clear timeframe for delivery. Our process includes confirming receipt, scoping the required format, and delivering the requested materials or service adjustments. While we aim for rapid responses, complex conversions may take longer and will be communicated clearly.

There may be parts of our content or third-party materials that do not yet fully meet WCAG 2.1 AA. Where limitations exist we document them, schedule remediation, and provide alternative access when necessary. For example, some legacy documents or embedded widgets may require conversion before they are fully accessible; we prioritize these by impact and usage.

We encourage people to report accessibility issues so they can be addressed. When describing a problem, include the page or resource location, the assistive technology used, and the steps that reproduce the issue. Our accessibility process includes testing, prioritization and verification, and we keep records to track progress toward inclusive service delivery.

Harrys Waste is committed to continuous improvement across the accessible Harrys Waste area and related services. We provide staff training, accessibility reviews in design and development cycles, and regular audits against WCAG 2.1 AA. Our goal is to ensure equal access to information, services and participation for all community members.
