Accessibility Statement for Highlander Radford, Managed by Scholar Hotels

At Highlander Radford, we believe the internet should be accessible to everyone, regardless of ability. We are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to the broadest audience, including individuals with disabilities. To meet this commitment, we strive to adhere as closely as possible to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at the AA level, established by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to individuals with a range of disabilities, such as blindness, motor impairments, visual impairments, and cognitive disabilities.

Accessibility Features

Our website uses a range of technologies to enhance accessibility:

  • Screen-reader and Keyboard Navigation: We have implemented ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes, along with other adjustments to ensure that visitors using screen-readers or keyboard navigation can access and operate our website effectively. This includes prompts for screen-reader profiles, optimized image descriptions, and form label improvements.

  • Keyboard Navigation Optimization: Our site can be navigated using the keyboard, with features like Tab and Shift+Tab keys for movement, and Enter and Spacebar keys to activate elements. Dropdowns, popups, and forms are fully operable via keyboard, and content-skip menus are available for easy navigation.

  • Disability Profiles Supported: Our website includes various profiles tailored to specific disabilities:

    • Epilepsy Safe Profile: Reduces flashing elements and risky color combinations.
    • Vision Impaired Profile: Adjusts content for those with visual impairments.
    • Cognitive Disability Profile: Enhances focus and content clarity for individuals with cognitive disabilities.
    • ADHD Friendly Profile: Minimizes distractions to aid focus.
    • Blind Users Profile (Screen-readers): Ensures compatibility with popular screen-readers like JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack.
    • Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): Enables full navigation for users with motor impairments.
  • UI, Design, and Readability Adjustments: Visitors can customize font sizes, spacing, color schemes, and contrast to improve readability. We also offer options to mute audio, emphasize essential elements, and stop animations for those with sensory sensitivities.

Assistive Technology and Browser Compatibility

We aim to support a wide variety of browsers and assistive technologies, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Microsoft Edge, Opera, and screen-readers like JAWS and NVDA. This ensures that users on both Windows and Mac operating systems can access our site effectively.

Ongoing Improvements

We are continually working to enhance the accessibility of our website by adopting new technologies and making updates to ensure compliance with WCAG 2.1. Despite our best efforts, some areas may not yet be fully accessible or may require further adjustments.

Feedback

If you encounter any issues or have suggestions for improving our website’s accessibility, please contact us at [email protected] or through the website’s contact form. We are always open to feedback and committed to making ongoing improvements.

Thank you for visiting Highlander Radford. We look forward to welcoming all guests with accessible digital experiences.
