Accessible to you
We are committed to ensuring that the Tower
Hamlets Homes website is accessible and inclusive
for all visitors.
- All
main pages of our site are accessibility
error-free, checked
using the online WAVE service of WebAIM, a recognised
body promoting accessibility online. This means that visitors
using our website in a range of formats are able to navigate and
find the information they need.
- We’ve used a colour contrast
checker to ensure that the difference in brightness and
luminosity between colours is sufficient according to the W3C
specified range. This means that our site provides enough
contrast to be accessible to colour-blind visitors.
- We ensure that the language we use is clear, simple and easy to
understand. Readability tests have measured this site as
being accessible to visitors with the reading level of an average
14 year old.
Change the language settings
This website is available in a number of languages which we know
are commonly spoken by our
customers. Links to each of these can be found on
the front page of the website. To change the language settings of
the website simply click on the link which corresponds with
the language you require. This will take you to Google translate -
a free translation service that provides instant translations
between different languages. Since the translations are
generated by machines, not all translation will be perfect. This is
why the translation accuracy will sometimes vary across
languages.
You cannot use this service for
Bengali or Somali languages but we are committed to
continually developing our website to make sure it is
accessible.
