Accessibility

Garden Lane Backpackers strives to ensure that our website is accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. We are committed to continuous improvement and aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.

Compliance Status

The website of Garden Lane Backpackers is partially compliant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA due to the issues listed below.

Non-Accessible Content

1. Non-compliance with WCAG

Some images and icons may lack appropriate alternative text.
Occasional navigation or keyboard-focus inconsistencies may occur.
Some text or interactive elements may have insufficient color contrast.
Certain videos or multimedia content may not include captions or transcripts.

We are addressing these issues through planned updates and accessibility improvements.

2. Disproportionate Burden

Some third-party booking or map integrations may not fully meet WCAG requirements. While we do not control these services, we continuously work with providers to improve accessibility.

3. Content Outside the Scope of Accessibility Legislation

Third-party modules and embedded external content that are not created or funded by us.
