WCAG 2.1 AA: Partly conforms

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1, Level AA

Self-assessed by IdeaScore. Not certified by an outside body.

The international guidelines that make web pages usable by people with disabilities.

Trust Centre last reviewed 2 November 2026

In place3

  • We assess IdeaScore against WCAG 2.1 Level AA ourselves. No outside body has assessed it.
  • An automated check finds no serious or critical issue on the pages we scan, in light and dark mode, on large screens and phones.
  • A manual check with a screen reader is still to come, so we say IdeaScore partly conforms. The accessibility statement lists the known gaps.

Work in progress3

  • A manual screen reader pass (NVDA) on sign-in, applying, scoring and the public pages.
  • Text summaries for charts.
  • Fixes for the gaps listed in the accessibility statement.

What we have checked

  • KeyboardCheckedThe sign-in, apply, score, staff review and public pages can be used with a keyboard alone. Every stop shows a focus ring, and no dialog traps the keyboard. We checked this ourselves; disabled users have not tested it.
  • Reduced motionCheckedAnimation stops or reduces when your device asks for less motion, on the pages we checked. Counters driven by scripts were not checked separately.
  • Dark modeCheckedA dark theme is available, and the automated check runs in both themes.
  • Zoom to 200 percentIn progressWe test pages at 200 percent zoom with a script. Some pages still scroll sideways or overlap at that zoom.
  • Screen-reader labelsIn progressButtons and fields have names a screen reader can read on the pages we checked. We have not yet run a manual pass with a screen reader.

Evidence

Limits

  • Until every Level AA criterion is met on the pages we name, the honest status is "partially conforms".
