Accessibility statement

Accessibility is a design requirement at CheckpointQA, not an afterthought. If everyone in a business must use the system, everyone must be able to.

This website (checkpointqa.co.uk)

This website is built to meet WCAG 2.2 level AA. In practice that means:

  • Semantic HTML with proper landmarks, one heading structure per page and a skip-to-content link.
  • Every interactive element is keyboard operable, with a clearly visible focus indicator.
  • Colour contrast meets or exceeds AA ratios, checked against the design system's own tokens.
  • The site works without JavaScript — the only script is a progressive enhancement for the mobile menu.
  • Animations and transitions are disabled when your system requests reduced motion.
  • Touch targets meet the minimum size requirement, and the layout reflows down to 320px-wide viewports without horizontal scrolling.
  • Forms use real labels, autocomplete attributes and clear error expectations — no placeholder-as-label patterns.

The CheckpointQA platform (eqms.checkpointqa.co.uk)

The platform is designed and assessed against WCAG 2.2 levels A and AA, with AAA targets adopted where practical. An accessibility conformance report (VPAT 2.5) is maintained for the platform and is available on request — contact us and we'll send the current edition.

Platform accessibility is enforced in engineering, not just reviewed: automated accessibility tests run on every change, and known gaps are tracked openly in the conformance report with remediation work scheduled.

How we test

This site is checked with automated tooling (axe-core) plus manual keyboard-only passes, zoom and reflow checks at 400%, reduced-motion emulation and contrast verification of every colour pairing used.

Known limitations

None currently known for this website. If you find something we've missed, please tell us.

Feedback

If any part of this site or the platform is difficult for you to use, contact us. Accessibility reports get engineering attention, not a ticket queue.
