Accessibility

Public bodies are bound by accessibility obligations and pass them to their vendors, so it matters that this page is specific rather than reassuring. What follows is what was actually done, and what was not.

Scope

This statement covers this website only. It says nothing about the Sekyoor platform. TODO: a separate statement and VPAT for the product are what procurement will actually ask for — this page is not a substitute.

What has been done

• The page is built from semantic HTML and reads in order with the stylesheet off.
• All content is present without JavaScript; only the background scene and scroll animations are lost.
• prefers-reduced-motion is honored. The animated background renders one static frame and never moves, and scroll-triggered transitions are disabled.
• The background scene is decorative, marked aria-hidden, and carries no information that is not also in the text.
• Keyboard focus is visible on every interactive element, at a contrast that survives the dark background.
• Form fields have persistent visible labels, not placeholder text standing in for labels.
• Form status messages are announced through a live region.
• Text reflows to 320px without horizontal scrolling.

What has not been done

This is the honest part. None of the following has happened yet, sono conformance level is claimed:

• No audit against WCAG 2.2 AA, by us or by a third party.
• No testing with actual screen readers — not NVDA, JAWS, or VoiceOver.
• No testing with users who rely on assistive technology.
• No published VPAT or Accessibility Conformance Report.
• Color contrast has not been measured across the whole page. Body text over the animated background is the most likely place to fall short and has not been verified.

TODO: commission an audit and replace this section with findings and a remediation timeline. Until then, do not state a conformance level anywhere — an unsupported WCAG claim in a bid response is worse than no claim.

Known issues

• The lifecycle rail on the left of the long page is decorative and hidden from assistive technology. The same structure is available through the page headings.
• The background scene renders in WebGL. Where WebGL is unavailable the page falls back to a flat background with no loss of content.
• TODO: add findings from the first real audit.
