Accessibility Statement

Effective date: 12 July 2026

We are committed to making employmentrightscheck.co.uk accessible to the widest possible audience, including people with disabilities. We want everyone to be able to read the timeline, run the checker, and complete a purchase.

Our commitment: WCAG 2.1 Level AA

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, the internationally recognised standard for web accessibility referenced by the UK's Equality Act 2010 and the public-sector accessibility regulations. We treat conformance as an ongoing effort, and we test against this standard when we change the site.

Measures we take

Specific measures built into this site include:

A skip-to-content link so keyboard and screen-reader users can bypass the navigation.
Semantic HTML landmarks (header, nav, main, footer) and a single, logical heading structure on every page.
A visible keyboard focus indicator on every interactive element.
Every form field is associated with a text label or an accessible name, and icon-only controls have accessible labels.
Status is never conveyed by colour alone. Each timeline item and checker result carries a text label (In force, Confirmed, or Awaiting regulations) as well as its colour.
Text and interface colour combinations chosen to meet the WCAG AA contrast ratios (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text and interface components).
Meaningful alt text on informative images, and empty alt text on purely decorative images so screen readers skip them.
A responsive layout that reflows and remains usable when zoomed or viewed on small screens, with wide tables scrolling within their own container.

Known limitations

Despite our efforts, some limitations may remain. We are aware that content or components can occasionally fall short of full conformance, for example newly published content before it has been reviewed. We monitor for these and fix them as we find them. If you encounter a barrier that is not listed here, please tell us so we can address it.

Report an accessibility barrier

If you have difficulty accessing any part of this site, or you have a suggestion that would improve accessibility for you, we want to hear from you. Email hello@employmentrightscheck.co.uk with the page address and a description of the problem. We aim to acknowledge accessibility reports within 5 business days and to work with you on a resolution or a usable alternative. If you need the information in the report you purchased provided in an alternative accessible format, contact us and we will provide it.
