Our website accessibility policy, aims and achievements, and how to report problems or request information in another format.

This statement applies to www.thetrackbr.co.uk

This website is run by Townsquare Spaces. We want as many people as possible to be able to use it. For example, this means you should be able to:

  • change colours, contrast levels and fonts
  • modify the line height or spacing of text
  • zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
  • navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver).

We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

How accessible this website is

Overall our audits have confirmed that the The_Track website is almost fully accessible to all visitors. We have tried to present content in a clear way, avoiding complicated navigation mechanisms and distracting animations. Fonts are clear, contrast levels are good, and links are all text-based.

However, we know some parts of this website aren’t fully accessible as:

  • Inadequate contrast of text which is necessary for all users, especially users with low vision.
