Accessibility Statement

This statement was last updated on January 16th 2025.

We at SpareRide are working to make our site www.spareride.co.uk accessible to people with disabilities.

What Web Accessibility Is

An accessible site allows visitors with disabilities to browse the site with the same or a similar level of ease and enjoyment as other visitors. This can be achieved with the capabilities of the system on which the site is operating, and through assistive technologies.

Our Statement of Accessibility

Standards Compliance

We aim to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, which provide a standard for accessibility across the web. Our goal is to make the SpareRide platform usable and accessible to individuals with a range of abilities.

Text and Contrast

We provide text with sufficient contrast against background colours to ensure readability for users with visual impairments. Additionally, we offer the ability to adjust font size and the use of clear, simple language throughout the site.

Alt Text for Images

Where possible, all meaningful images, icons, and graphics on our website include descriptive alt text, which allows screen readers to convey the image’s content or purpose to users with visual impairments.

Video and Audio Content

We provide subtitles or captions for videos and transcripts for audio content when possible, ensuring that users with hearing impairments can access the information.

Ongoing Improvements

We are continuously working to improve the accessibility of our website. We monitor accessibility compliance and are open to feedback that helps us enhance the user experience. If you encounter any issues or have suggestions on how we can improve our site’s accessibility, please contact us at hello@spareride.co.uk.

If you have any accessibility concerns or need assistance using our website, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to help and will do our best to accommodate any specific needs or requirements.

Declaration of Partial Compliance With the Standard Due to Third-Party Content

While we strive to ensure that the SpareRide website is fully accessible and compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, we acknowledge that some third-party content embedded on our website may not meet all accessibility standards. This content, which includes elements such as embedded videos, external widgets, or third-party services, may not fully comply with our accessibility requirements.

We are actively working with third-party providers to improve the accessibility of their content and ensure that all elements of the website meet the highest standards of usability for all users. In the meantime, if you encounter any issues with third-party content, please contact us at hello@spareride.co.uk, and we will do our best to provide alternative solutions or assist you in accessing the information.

Accessibility Arrangements in the Organisation

At SpareRide, we are committed to fostering an inclusive environment for all individuals, both within our organisation and in our interactions with external partners and customers. We aim to ensure that our workplace and services are accessible to everyone, including those with disabilities.

While we do not make specific guarantees regarding internal accessibility measures, we continuously strive to offer reasonable accommodations and support where possible. Employees and partners who may require assistance are encouraged to reach out, and we will make efforts to address their needs in a timely and appropriate manner.

We are always reviewing and refining our accessibility practices in line with current standards and regulations, and we will work to provide an accessible environment for all individuals.
