The Oak Inn Burton
At The Oak Inn Burton, we are committed to making our website as accessible as possible for all users, including those with visual, hearing, cognitive, or motor impairments. We believe everyone should be able to access information about our pub, menus, and events easily and independently.
According to national statistics, more than nine million people in the UK live with a disability, and at least two million experience serious sight problems. With more people relying on the internet for information, shopping, study, work, and leisure, it is vital that websites are designed with accessibility in mind.
Our Commitment
We aim to meet recognised accessibility standards and follow the principles set out in the Equality Act 2010 (which replaced the Disability Discrimination Act). To achieve this, we regularly test our website using a variety of browsers, screen readers, and accessibility tools. The feedback from these tests is used to improve the site continuously.
Accessibility Features
We have included the following features to support accessibility:
Sitemap: A clear site structure is available for easier navigation.
Image Descriptions: All images include “alt text” to describe visual content for users of screen readers.
Clear Text Links: Links are written to make sense out of context, helping users know where each will take them.
Text Resizing: Our design supports browser settings that allow text to be resized without loss of functionality.
Consistent Layouts: Pages use CSS for layout but remain readable and functional if CSS is disabled.
Form Labels: All form controls are properly grouped and labelled for ease of use.
External Links: Links to external websites open in a new window. Please note, we cannot be responsible for the accessibility of external sites.
