Accessibility Statement for Gardening in Finsbury Park
Accessibility statement: Gardening Finsbury Park
Gardening Finsbury Park is committed to making community gardening and green-space activities in the Finsbury Park area accessible to as many people as possible. This accessibility statement explains our standards, the features we provide to support inclusive access, and how we address accessibility requests for the accessible Gardening Finsbury Park area.
We aim to meet the WCAG 2.1 AA standard across our online content and to reflect those principles in our on-site communications and signage. Wherever possible we use semantic structure, clear headings, and readable typography so pages about Finsbury Park community gardening projects are easier to navigate for everyone.
Key accessibility supports we provide include:
- Screen-reader support: pages are written with clear headings, meaningful link text, and ARIA attributes where needed to enhance compatibility with screen readers used by people visiting Finsbury Park garden pages.
- Keyboard navigation: interactive controls, event sign-up elements, and navigation menus are operable by keyboard alone to support visitors who cannot use a mouse.
- Alternative formats: important documents and participating information are available in accessible electronic formats on request, and we strive to offer plain language summaries for community gardening activities.
Gardening Finsbury Park — Accessibility Overview
On site, paths, raised beds, work areas and gathering points are assessed for step-free access and clear circulation. We use high-contrast signage and tactile route markers where feasible to support orientation around the Finsbury Park gardening area. Visual contrast, legible fonts and appropriately sized touch targets are prioritized in event materials and maps.
Technical and content measures include use of clean HTML, ARIA landmarks for key page regions, descriptive alt text on images, and labels for form controls. We also monitor third-party widgets to ensure they meet basic accessibility expectations. Where third-party components cannot be fully controlled, we publish known limitations and offer alternatives.
We test accessibility through a combination of automated checks and manual review, including keyboard-only navigation and testing with common screen readers. Our accessibility checks concentrate on:
- Heading and content structure
- Form labels and error identification
- Contrast, color independence and focus visibility
Continuous improvement is central: we update pages and event notices as we find better solutions and as technologies evolve.
How to request accessibility support: if you need an alternative format, assistance to participate in a gardening activity, or a particular accessibility accommodation for the accessible Gardening Finsbury Park area, please make an accessibility request through our main contact channels or at our event registration points. When making a request, tell us the content or service you need, the preferred format or accommodation, and any reasonable time constraints; this helps us respond effectively.
We aim to acknowledge accessibility requests promptly and to provide a clear timeframe for fulfilling reasonable requests. Response times may vary by the nature of the request and any required third-party involvement, but we prioritize timely, practical solutions whenever possible.
Known limitations and workarounds are documented and reviewed regularly. If a particular page, form or onsite feature does not meet WCAG 2.1 AA at present, we will provide an alternative way to access the same information or service, or offer a scheduled assistance option for in-person activities. We do not exclude people on the basis of disability; our goal is equitable participation in community gardening across Finsbury Park.
In summary, our commitment to accessible Gardening Finsbury Park content and activities includes adherence to WCAG 2.1 AA principles, active support for screen-reader compatibility, robust keyboard navigation, and a clear route to request accommodations. We review accessibility as an ongoing priority and work to make our garden spaces and online information welcoming and usable for everyone.
