Accessibility

Designed to be usable, adaptable and clear.

This is a draft statement. It records the engineering target and outstanding verification without claiming conformance prematurely.

Our target

ASCEND targets WCAG 2.2 Level AA across public, account and administration experiences. The current build includes semantic landmarks, keyboard operation, visible focus, reflow, reduced-motion support, form labels, status messages and independently designed black and white modes.

Known verification still required

Before launch, ASCEND must complete automated checks, keyboard-only review, 200% and 400% zoom/reflow tests, forced-colors review, and critical journeys with current screen readers and people with disabilities. Third-party specialist tools must be assessed separately.

Feedback and accommodations

A monitored accessibility email, telephone alternative, response target and escalation owner are not yet configured. Until then, use the contact form and begin the message with “Accessibility”. Do not include sensitive personal or medical details.

Statement last reviewed: 30 September 2026.
