Accessibility Statement

A website for all people, a website for Haringey

Our site is for all people. It has been designed with our target users in mind and Haringey people have been consulted at every stage of the design process. We have created a website that is designed to be accessible for the widest possible audience – regardless of ability. This includes providing access for people with disabilities who may have special needs. Our new site does not use tables for layout, which helps to make it more accessible.

How do people with disabilities use the Internet

People with disabilities, such as a visual impairment, may use assistive technologies to use the iInternet. Assistive technologies are products used by people with disabilities to help accomplish tasks that they cannot do easily otherwise.

Assistive technology comes in many different forms, some of these include:

Speech synthesis (speech output)
Alternative keyboards or switches
Braille and refreshable Braille
Screen magnifiers
Sound notification
Screen readers
Speech recognition
Text browsers
Voice browsers

The Haringey website has been built so that people using the technologies listed above can access and use the information available.

Exceptions

There may be a few pages that do not conform to all the guidelines. One known issue is the lack of table summaries on some pages.

Whilst every effort is made to ensure the whole site conforms, with so many pages and contributors, this is an ongoing process. If you have any problem accessing any information on the site, please email us at content@haringey.gov.uk and we will endeavour to provide the information in a suitable format.
