We aim to be clear, consistent and usable by people with a wide range of abilities, including those using assistive technologies. Our approach to inclusion is practical and ongoing, and it applies to gardening in Ealing and the digital information about our Ealing gardening activities.

Our web content and resources strive to conform to WCAG 2.1 AA standards. Where applicable, we follow the principles of perceivable, operable, understandable and robust design to ensure that people accessing information about gardening services in Ealing can do so reliably. We review pages, documents and media to reduce barriers and use semantic HTML, headings and landmarks to support navigation and comprehension.

We support screen-reader users by ensuring that page structure is logical and that important elements are labelled. Images describing gardening tasks include descriptive alternative text, and complex images have longer text descriptions when needed. Our content is tested with common screen readers and with users who represent diverse needs to ensure the Ealing gardening content is readable, meaningful and accessible.

Keyboard navigation is essential for many visitors; therefore our site and digital materials can be used without a mouse. Focus order follows a logical sequence, interactive controls are reachable by keyboard alone, and visible focus indicators are provided. We use clear skip links and accessible menus to make exploring information about gardening in Ealing straightforward for keyboard users.
