Accessibility statement
At the Edgbaston Park Hotel and Conference Centre, we want to ensure that as many people as possible can use our website, and we are working to improve our digital services.
This accessibility statement covers www.edgbastonparkhotel.com. We aim to achieve the recommended government standard for web accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA). We also test with users of varied needs and on different assistive devices.
As a user with accessible needs, you should be able to:
- change colours, contrast levels and fonts
- zoom in up to 200% without the text spilling off the screen
- navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
- navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
- listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)
We also aim to make the website text as simple as possible to understand.
