Accessibility
Standard holds this site to WCAG 2.2 Level AA, and automated checks cover part of that level. This page says how it is checked, what is not known, and how to tell us about a barrier.
The level
The Standard, which governs every site Standard builds, names WCAG 2.2 Level AA as the level a site meets, and Standard’s own site is held to it. This page does not state that every page conforms.
How it is checked
Two automated checks run on the public pages of this site whenever its code changes: axe-core, and the accessibility audit of Lighthouse. Lighthouse is held to a minimum score, not to zero findings. Both read the pages in English; the pages in the other languages share the same templates and are not audited separately. The sign-in pages and the client area are not among the pages they read.
Automated checks find some barriers and miss others.
What is not known
No check of this site by hand, with a keyboard or with a screen reader, is recorded yet, so how the site behaves for a person who uses one is not known.
The Standard asks for a manual check on a schedule, dated and recorded with what it found and what was corrected. The first will be recorded here, with its date and what it found.
Known barriers
No barrier is recorded as known. That describes what has been written down, not the site: a barrier nobody has found is not a barrier that is absent.
Report a barrier
If something on this site cannot be used, write to the address below, naming the page and what happened. A person reads it and answers.
The sites Standard builds
This is the statement for Standard’s own site. Each site Standard builds for a practice will carry its own statement, with its own checks.
