Accessibility

Many of the families who use EHCPlog are disabled themselves, or care for a disabled child. We want everyone to be able to use it, including when tired, stressed or on a small phone screen.

What we have done

• Text is set in Atkinson Hyperlegible, a typeface designed for readers with low vision.
• Colours meet WCAG 2.2 AA contrast in both light and dark mode. Dark mode follows your device setting.
• Nothing relies on colour alone. Difficulty ratings always show a number and a word.
• Every form field has a visible label. Buttons and tap targets are at least 44 pixels tall.
• You can use the whole site with a keyboard, with a clear focus outline.
• The site works with screen readers such as VoiceOver and TalkBack, and with text zoom up to 200%.
• Animations are switched off if your device asks for reduced motion.
• We write in plain English and explain terms like EHC needs assessment.

Our standard

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. We test new features on phones, with a keyboard and in both colour modes.

Known limits

• Evidence pack PDFs use clear text and headings but are not yet fully tagged for screen readers.
• The printable diary template is a table designed for paper, which can be awkward with a screen reader. The online diary does the same job.

Tell us about a problem

If something is hard to use, or you need information in a different format, email hello@ehcplog.co.uk. We aim to reply within 5 working days.
