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.

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

Technical information about this website’s accessibility

Edgbaston Park Hotel and Conference Centre is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.

Non accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.

Non compliance with the accessibility regulations

Colour contrast is insufficient on some elements across the site, so some people may find it difficult to distinguish between these elements and the background. This fails WCAG 2.1 ‘AA’ success criterion 1.4.3 (contrast (minimum)).
- We plan to make all colours meet the contrast ratio of least 4.5:1 by September 2020.
