Summary (The Short Version)

Our commitment to accessibility

We want everyone to host or book pop-ups with confidence. We're working to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA across our website and booking flows. If you find a problem we haven't spotted, tell us — we'll fix or offer an alternative route quickly.

Need this page in a different format?

Email accessibility@negotiables.co.uk. Include: the page URL, your name and contact, the format you need (for example: large print, plain text, audio, BSL, braille).

Scope

What this statement covers

This statement covers negotiables.co.uk and our hosted forms, messages and QR tools used during pop-up activations.

Standards We Aim For

Accessibility guidelines we follow

  • WCAG 2.2 AA for web content and interactions. (We track the new criteria such as Focus Not Obscured, Dragging Movements and Target Size.)
  • We follow WAI's Understanding WCAG for design/dev guidance.
  • For enterprise buyers, we intend to publish an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) mapped to EN 301 549.

What We're Doing to Make the Site Accessible

Our accessibility implementation approach

Aligned with WCAG's POUR principles: Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, Robust.

Accessibility Features

Semantics & Structure

Correct headings, lists, landmarks; ARIA used sparingly.

Keyboard Access

All interactive elements reachable and operable without a mouse; logical tab order; visible focus.

Colour & Contrast

Compliant text and UI contrast; never rely on colour alone.

Motion & Animation

Respect prefers-reduced-motion; no critical info conveyed only through motion.

Forms

Programmatic labels, helpful hints, clear error messages, announced to assistive tech.

Media

Captions and transcripts for promo videos; decorative images are ignored by AT; meaningful images have alt text.

Responsive & Touch

Large hit targets; safe areas on mobile; content reflows without loss.

Consistent Patterns

Link styles, button states, and components behave predictably in every flow.

How We Test

Our testing methodology

  • Automated checks in CI for common issues.
  • Assistive tech spot-tests: NVDA (Windows), VoiceOver (iOS/macOS), and keyboard-only navigation on Chrome/Safari/Firefox (latest two versions).
  • Design reviews against WCAG 2.2 AA.
  • We review this statement at least annually or after major updates.

Where We Know Things Could Be Better

Known issues and alternatives

These are either being improved or have an immediate alternative route:

Alternative Available
Interactive maps (third-party Mapbox) may not be fully accessible to screen readers.

Alternative: A text list of addresses/directions and "Get directions" links is provided near the map.

In Progress
Charts in the ROI calculator may use colour for differentiation.

Alternative: Data tables and labels; we're adding patterns and direct value labels.

Alternative Available
Embedded social posts may expose non-compliant markup.

Alternative: Summary text and a link to the original post.

Alternative Available
Older PDFs (if any) may not be fully tagged.

Alternative: Request an accessible format via accessibility@negotiables.co.uk (we'll respond within one business day).

Booking & Events Accessibility

Physical accessibility considerations

Negotiables is a marketplace. We collect and display venue attributes (for example: step-free access, door width, accessible restroom, hearing loop, quiet hours). Hosts are asked to keep this accurate; Brands must run inclusive activations and provide reasonable adjustments on request under the Equality Act 2010.

Missing accessibility details?

If an accessibility detail is missing or wrong, tell us — we'll update listings and prioritise accessible matches.

If You Can't Access Part of This Service

How to get help

Email accessibility@negotiables.co.uk or call +44 [number]. We aim to respond within one business day with a fix, a workaround or an alternative format.

Unhappy with our response?

You can get advice from the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS), which supports individuals with Equality Act issues in Great Britain. (EASS is separate from Negotiables.)

Third-Party Technology We Rely On

External services and accessibility

Hosting/CDN, payments, maps, analytics, and video providers. We choose vendors with strong accessibility posture, but some parts of their UI are outside our control. For enterprise clients, we can provide vendor accessibility summaries or links to their statements.

Need Help with Accessibility?

We're here to help make Negotiables work for everyone. Contact us for alternative formats, accessibility issues, or general questions.
