ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

This accessibility statement applies to the Active NL website, www.activenl.co.uk.

This website is run by Active NL, part of North Lanarkshire Council. We want as many people as possible to be able to use it. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate the menus and main pages using just a keyboard
  • see clearly which link or button you are on when using a keyboard
  • skip straight to the main content of a page
  • pause the moving banner on the homepage

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

We are working to make this website meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 AA standard.

We tested the homepage in November 2026 and made a number of improvements, which are listed below. We are continuing to test and improve the rest of the website.

Technical information about this website’s accessibility

Active NL is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

We are working towards the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 AA standard.

What we’re doing to improve accessibility

In November 2026 we:

  • made the keyboard focus indicator clearly visible on every page
  • added a pause button to the moving banner on the homepage
  • improved the contrast of text shown over banner photos
  • added text alternatives to promotional images on the homepage
  • underlined links within text so they do not rely on colour alone
  • rebuilt our price lists as properly structured tables that work on small screens

We will keep testing the rest of the website and update this statement as we make further improvements.

We tested the homepage, and this statement will be updated as testing continues.
