Accessibility statement

The standard we work to

We target WCAG 2.1 Level AA. This statement is a self-assessment by the HumanAudit Inc. editorial team. It has not been audited by an independent accessibility body, and we will not imply otherwise.

What is implemented

• Keyboard access. Every interactive element has a visible focus indicator. A skip link appears on first tab and moves focus to the main content region.
• Landmarks and structure. Every page has one h1, a continuous heading order with no skipped levels, a labelled primary navigation region, and a main landmark.
• Tables. All 42 data tables use header cells with explicit scope. Wide tables scroll horizontally with a visible affordance rather than overflowing.
• Colour contrast. Body text renders at 12.9:1, secondary text at 5.3:1, links at 5.0:1, and every status chip at 5.9:1 or better against its own background.
• Motion. All transitions respect prefers-reduced-motion.
• Zoom and reflow. Type uses fluid sizing and the layout reflows to a single column without horizontal scrolling.
• Images and icons. Decorative SVG is hidden from assistive technology; meaningful images carry alternative text.
• Independence from colour. Status is conveyed by label text as well as colour throughout.
• Touch targets. Navigation and controls meet a 44 pixel minimum on coarse pointers.
• Print. Pages print cleanly with link destinations expanded, because reference documents get printed.

What we actually measured

These checks run automatically on every build and the build fails if any of them fails:

• Exactly one h1 per page, across all 96 pages
• Heading order continuity, with zero skipped levels
• Skip link, main landmark, lang attribute and navigation label present on every page
• Every data table carries header cells
• Every image carries alternative text
• Zero broken internal links

Colour contrast ratios were calculated against the WCAG relative luminance formula for every foreground and background pairing in the design system, and two values that failed at 3.49:1 and 4.18:1 were corrected before launch.

Known limitations

Stating these is more useful than claiming full conformance.

• No independent audit. This is a self-assessment. No third party has tested the site.
• No screen reader testing on assistive technology. The markup is structured correctly and validated automatically. It has not been driven end to end with a screen reader by a person who relies on one, which is a different and better test.
• Interactive tools. The three assessment tools update results dynamically. They are keyboard operable, and we have not verified that every state change is announced clearly.
• Long reference tables. Some standards tables are wide by nature. They scroll rather than reflow, which is workable and not ideal.
• Third-party content. The booking page we link to for calls is operated by another provider and its accessibility is outside our control.

Tell us when we get it wrong

If any part of this site is difficult or impossible for you to use, email hello@nhigovernance.com and describe what happened and what you were trying to do. We will reply, and if the fix is in our control we will make it and record it in the corrections log alongside our factual corrections.

If you need any page in a different format, ask and we will provide it.
