Our approach to accessibility
At Wickes we understand the importance of offering an experience that is simple, easy to understand, and easy to use by people of all abilities. We want to provide a website that is accessible to all user groups including people with disabilities such as blindness and low vision, deafness and hearing loss, learning disabilities, cognitive limitations, limited movement, speech disabilities, photosensitivity and combinations of these. This statement summarises the approach we have taken with our website, to ensure accessibility to all.
