Accessibility statement
We want everyone to be able to use civicgrid.net and CivicGrid, whatever their abilities and whatever phone or computer they use.
Last updated: 8 November 2026
Our standard
civicgrid.net and the CivicGrid platform are built to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA.
- You can zoom to 400% without losing content, and pages work at phone width without sideways scrolling.
- Everything works with a keyboard alone, with a visible focus.
- Pages work with screen readers, with headings, landmarks and labelled controls.
- Colours meet contrast rules in light and dark modes, and colour is never the only way information is shown.
- Pages follow your device's settings for dark mode and reduced motion.
How we check
Every change is checked automatically in a real browser at phone and desktop sizes, including automated accessibility testing. An independent accessibility audit will be completed before the first licensee goes live, and this statement will then be updated with its results.
Known limitations
- Uploaded documents in the demo access process are reviewed as you send them; we cannot make scanned documents you upload accessible.
- The site is in English for now. Licensees' platforms use translation files for local languages.
