Accessibility statement
This statement covers the website at turningover.org.
How accessible this website is
This site is intended to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 at level AA. One known deviation is outstanding, set out below.
What that means in practice
- Every page works with the keyboard alone, in a sensible order, with a visible focus indicator on everything you can reach and a skip link to the main content.
- Every page works with JavaScript switched off. The scripting on this site improves things: it collapses the navigation on a small screen and checks the form before you send it. Nothing depends on it.
- Text meets or exceeds the AA contrast minimum against its background, and so do the interactive controls.
- Availability is stated in words as well as in colour, so "available now" and "available soon" are distinguishable without seeing the difference between green and amber.
- Text can be resized to 200% and the layout reflows to a 320px viewport without loss of content or horizontal scrolling.
- Every interactive control clears the 24 by 24 pixel minimum in both dimensions that the guidelines ask for. Buttons and calls to action are held to 44 pixels, which is more than the standard requires; the links in the footer are 28.
- Pages use proper headings, landmarks and lists, so a screen reader can navigate by structure.
- The site respects the operating system's "reduce motion" setting. With it on, nothing on any page moves at all.
- Nothing updates or times out on its own, and nothing flashes.
The one known deviation
Two things move on their own and neither can be paused: the strip of organisation logos, and the soft gradient behind the heading on the home page and the about page. Success criterion 2.2.2, Pause, Stop, Hide, asks for a way to stop movement that starts on its own and runs for more than five seconds, and neither offers one.
What is in place instead: if your operating system is set to reduce motion, the logos do not move at all and the gradient is replaced by a still picture of itself, so the pages are completely static. Neither carries information that is not also in text, so nothing is lost by ignoring them. If the movement is a problem for you, say so using the details below and it will be changed.
How this has been tested
The site was tested during construction on every page, at desktop and mobile widths, using: keyboard-only navigation; rendering with JavaScript disabled and with the stylesheet removed; automated accessibility and HTML validation; reflow at a 320 pixel viewport and at 200% text size; measurement of every interactive target; and contrast measurement of every foreground and background colour pair against the WCAG AA thresholds.
It has not yet had an independent audit or been tested with assistive technology by disabled users. Both are worth doing, and the results will be recorded here when they are.
Where the regulations apply
Turning Over Ltd is a private limited company, so the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 do not apply to this website. The standard is met anyway, for two reasons: the duty to make reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act 2010 applies to any service provider, and the organisations buying these tools are themselves subject to the regulations, so they are right to expect their suppliers to meet the same bar.
The tools are separate
This statement covers this website. The tools are separate files supplied to your organisation, and accessibility findings for them are a separate matter. Ask about the specific tool you are considering and you will get a straight answer rather than a claim inherited from this page.
