Accessibility Statement
This statement covers careva.uk. We build for keyboards, screen readers and small screens as a matter of course, and we would rather hear about a problem than assume there is not one.
What we aim for
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 at level AA. We believe careva.uk is substantially conformant, with the exceptions noted below.
This is a self-assessment. It has not been audited by a third party, and we would rather say so than imply a certification we do not hold.
What that means here
The site is built as ordinary structured HTML with headings in order, so it can be navigated by heading with a screen reader. Every page has a main landmark and a skip link as its first focusable element, every page works with a keyboard alone, and focus is visible on links, form fields and buttons.
Body text meets or exceeds a 4.5:1 contrast ratio against its background, and large headings meet or exceed 3:1. Text can be enlarged to 200% without loss of content, and the layout reflows to a single column on narrow screens rather than requiring horizontal scrolling.
The enquiry form has a visible label attached to every field, marks its required fields in the label rather than only in code, and does not impose a time limit. Nothing on the site moves, flashes or autoplays.
The diagrams
Several pages carry figures — the signal diagram and engagement timeline on the home page, the practice-areas diagram, the staffing comparison on the About page, and the working-hours chart on the Careers page. Each is an SVG with a role of image and a text alternative that describes what the figure shows, and each is introduced by a caption and a sentence of prose that states the point being made.
Known limitation: the working-hours chart on the Careers page presents its data visually and in its text alternative, but not yet as a table. The same information appears in words in each role listing, where the required overlap is stated as a number of hours.
Known limitations
The figures use a red accent to distinguish one element from the rest. Colour is never the only cue — the distinguished element also differs in size or position, and is named in the caption and the text alternative.
Typefaces are served from this domain rather than a third party, and are preloaded, so text is rendered in the intended face almost immediately. On a slow connection a fallback face is shown first; content remains readable throughout.
We have not tested every page against every combination of browser and assistive technology. Testing has been with keyboard navigation, browser zoom, and a screen reader on desktop.
Telling us about a problem
Email hello@careva.uk with the page and what went wrong. We reply to everything within two working days, and we will tell you what we intend to do and when.
If you need something on this site in another format — a plain-text version of a page, or a figure described in more detail — ask and we will send it.
Enforcement
If you are not happy with our response, the Equality Advisory and Support Service can advise on your rights under the Equality Act 2010.
